Unknown person whose attributions of having translated Urdu works such as The Cup of Jamshid: A Collection of Ghazal Poetry and Urdu letters of Mirzā Asadu’lldh Khān Ghālib are debatable, since these are not relevant works, also his notability is limited. Even though google shows the he has several published books, their info, contents, reviews are hardly ever (to don't say never) present, and some of the retailers even reinforce this fact with a Limited Availability warn.

Keep. The article has references to articles about Daud Rahbar in Dawn and The Friday Times, satisfying the general notability guideline. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:43, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a reference to another reliable source that has six pages comparing Daud's position to another scholar's, which I found by skimming through the first 20 or so of the 1670 books found by the search automatically linked in the nomination statement.

Keep There's a metric load of sourcing out there in Gbooks, the existing sourcing in the article appears to meet GNG. --joe decker ^{talk to me} 00:45, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
