I think the article highlights the contribution of Aurangabad city to the development of Urdu language and culture. It traces the history of the language in the deccan and since Aurangabad was the capital of the deccan first under the Delhi sultanate and then under the Mughal Empire, its contribution to the development of the language should be recognized.
 * Keep (note : the user is also the creator of this article.)

As it is, there are very few and sketchy articles on Urdu Language, therefore I request the administrators to keep this article as it helps a reader in increasing his knowledge about Urdu language. It also adds to the resource on Urdu language available on wikipedia.

Also many prominent Urdu poet and writers who do not find coverage on wikipedia are covered in this article, like: Balaji Trimbak Naik Zarra, Mirza Daud, Muhammad Mah Mehram, Arifuddin Ajiz, Dargahquli Khan Dargah, Fazli, Sarim, Lala Lachmi-narian Shafiq, Shaikh Chand  and Yusuf Nazim. With so many writer and poets (not covered by specific articles) from Aurangabad I think the article does justice to the topic and does not require a deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by IXU79 (talk • contribs) 09:09, 20 March 2010 (UTC) IXU79 (talk) 09:11, 20 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep - Creator seems to have a good case for keeping. Aurangabad indeed has a urdu tradition with a number of newspapers, journals and poets. As long as the new content is sourced well i see no problem in keeping this.--Sodabottle (talk) 14:26, 20 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep - The article is reasonable and complies with Notability. It has verifiable sources. I've checked the sources and they are in accordance with Notability (books). Some of the content may be challenged for Copyright violations, but it can always undergo a copyedit. Nefirious (talk) 14:43, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
