 * Delete There are two main reasons for deletion. The first is simply that there don't seem to be any real, verifiable sources about the subject and his name is so freaking generic that a search isn't likely to turn up anything useful. Syed is an honorific which would need to be removed anyway, and neither Lahori nor Kashmiri are family names; they're epithets for someone who lived in those areas and that's common in the Muslim world. Hassan is about as common a personal name as Mike or Steve.
 * The other reason is that this is soley promotional. Notice that the article states that: "Raheislam has a plan to publish his biography in Urdu Language."
 * The creator of the article, User:Raheislam, writers on their user page: "Raheislam is an organization founded..." It then lists Facebook and Twitter pages.
 * This seems like a non-notable subject with a small, non-notable publishing house writing a bio on him and exploiting Wikipedia for publicity. It fails on many counts. MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:58, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete because the refs appear sketchy. Please ping me if ISBNs can be found for the wroks being cited or VIAF entries for their authors and I'll take another look. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:23, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
