According to the article, Sheikh Noor Muhammad "is most notable in being the father of (Poet of East) Muhammad Iqbal." Per WP:NOTINHERITED, notability is not inherited (neither as the descendant of a notable person nor as the ancestor of one). WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:42, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * What would you think about a redirect to Muhammad Iqbal? We often do that with non-notable relatives of notable people. --MelanieN (talk) 03:36, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment Since the Muhammad Iqbal article does mention his father (and apparently from cited sources), I can support the redirect. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 10:37, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Muhammad Iqbal per MelanieN's recommendation and WP:PEOPLEOUTCOMES. Every mention of the subject I could find was brief and of the form "Iqbal's father Sheikh Noor Muhammad ..." Nothing suggests he was notable in his own right. Worldbruce (talk) 07:34, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
