 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Are there sources in Urdu?
 * Delete. While an article might be acceptable here if it could be reliably sourced well enough to clear WP:GNG, that's not what the sources here are doing — as written, this is resting entirely on one primary source and one glancing namecheck of his existence on one page of one book. That's not enough. The potential notability claim here took place long enough ago that valid sourcing for it would not be expected to show up on a simple Google search. Better sources might exist in microfilms or archives, certainly, but we don't keep poorly sourced articles just because better sources might exist — we keep poorly sourced articles only if and when somebody does the work to demonstrate that better sources do exist.
