 * Keep. Television series broadcast by national networks are generally considered notable. The references here are weak, but they're enough to convince me that this series existed. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 09:03, 29 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - I've added a few sources that happen to be in English; the web is full of copies of this hugely popular Pakistan TV video series, all 66 parts of it. Among the more obviously convincing citations the Karachi Literature Festival 2012 has "Amjad Islam Amjad has written over 40 books, many drama series for PTV ... Among his most famous dramas are Waris, ..." There is no doubt that the TV series existed, was produced by PTV, was written by Amjad, and was and remains among the most popular series ever broadcast on PTV. I think that is clearly notable. I am sure Urdu speakers will be able to add many more citations with no difficulty. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:13, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
