(previously prod'd) This is a very long biographical article. The closest thing I can find to a notability assertion comes toward the bottom, where it says "A few students of Islamia College and other colleges has done M.Phil and P.hd. on his stories and writings." I've tried a few searches for his name and creative works, but nothing appears notable. However I don't have much experience with Urdu names and I could be using the wrong search parameters.

This fellow appears to now be an Urdu Journalist after trying his hand at a number of different occupations. Agreed, the only notability is his contributions to Urdu literature. This article does not stand up when compared to articles in List of Urdu language writers. I say WP:NotJustYet; let his works continue and let him gain a reputation as an Urdu litterateur.--Whiteguru (talk) 05:50, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete it is not clear what precisely he is notable for nor what the references are supporting for but on the grounds of WP:Creative seems to fall short.Tetron76 (talk) 12:48, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
