 * delete I don't think this passes WP:PROF, and I see no evidence of any notable impact beyond academia. Pete.Hurd 21:11, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete the article is an apparent copyvio from the references given. But she might be notable--If the article is rewritten in a proper way, it would help to have a list of her publications. This is not included in the references provided:  says it is "available on demand" It is difficult to evaluate academic people who do not have a current list of their publications online.

 * delete doesn't seem to be notable.--Sefringle 05:11, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Tentative Keep. Notably, she is cited as a highly respected expert in this Frontline article. Frontline    is  a sister publication of The Hindu. Stammer 05:16, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * keep Notable expert that has been cited.--Kirby♥time 05:37, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Again, absent significant sources to the contrary, this person really just doesn't yet seem notable enough for a dedicated encyclopedic entry. Lemonsawdust 07:02, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * weak keep per outside sourcing the_undertow talk  08:55, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete The sources furnished do not show that she satisfies WP:PROF, but some references might exist somewhere to strengthn her claim to notability. Did she publish more than the one book? Did she have a major influence in her field? Did she win awards for her research and teaching? Did she have notable students who were positively affected by her teaching? Does she serve on panels and boards in her discipline and edit journals? Edison 14:28, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep: She has 1400 G-hits on the Pakistani Google, and those include a bunch of solid, serious news hits.  (Although I must admit her interview on Larry Flynt's website is one I skipped).    RGTraynor  14:49, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Director General of Institute of Strategic Studies, gets some good hits on news search . Reports like this portrays Mazari's importance and notability. --Dwaipayan (talk) 16:33, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral it's hard to establish notability, but my fellow Wikipedians do bring up a good point of in Pakistan she may be much more notable. Jmlk17 19:23, 20 April 2007 (UTC)


 * DON'T DELETE. She is the author of Kargil War: Separating Facts from Fiction (1999), and I think that is enough to prove notability. So, a message saying that the article needs to be improved should be enough. Other than that, she is the director of ISSI, which I believe is the only civilian think tank in Pakistan.
