Non-notable subject. In fact, seems to only exist as an act of self-promotion by a now-banned user. Pepper Beast   (talk)  23:13, 1 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete: Not notable. Although google books turns many results, most, if not all, self-published. Only one news report mention in a local newspaper. Sources used in the article unverifiable. Funny though, one sources used is actually a letter to the editor of a newspaper by this Sheikh Mohammad Iqbal ;) Clear self-promotion. Article created by the subject himself. Recently blocked for book-spamming.  AhmadLX  ( talk ) 23:45, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete per WP:G12 - almost entirely a copyvio - earwig. If someone does a major cleanup - and if his webpage is correct regarding amount of publications - book publication list - he might quite possibly be notable per WP:NAUTHOR. Icewhiz (talk) 16:38, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. WP:NAUTHOR wouldn't apply even then: 1.The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors? → no. The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique? → No. 3. Created well-known work, with multiple independent periodical articles or reviews? → No. 4.The person's work won significant critical attention? → No.  AhmadLX  ( talk ) 16:58, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree a mere publication list doesn't establish NAUTHOR - however when someone has authored 36 books over 62 years - it is quite possible. Possible - not certain. Icewhiz (talk) 17:04, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
