==Notability and reliability of sources==
The subject of this stub article doesnt seem to be a notable/well-known author/scholar/literary figure here, in Pakistan, to the best of my knowledge. The source cited as reference is also somewhat dubious, being only  a local paper at Chitral district level only-- its not one of Pakistan's major English language dailies i.e. ''The News'', ''Dawn'', ''Daily Times'', ''Express (contracted; show full)corded by the gentleman on 'Khyber TV' which is a provincial level TV channel also giving some coverage to national issues and so on, and is quite reliable. At the same time, I dont think that he is otherwise so very well known at a broader Pakistani or even global level. What would be the status of such an article, thus, here on Wikipedia? Could we then make some amendments to reflect the situation? Thanks, [[User:Hamneto|Hamneto]] ([[User talk:Hamneto|talk]]) 12:25, 25 October 2012 (UTC)Hamneto

:Well, even if he's only known in the Chitral district, as long as he has enough coverage in reliable secondary sources, then it's okay to have an article on him. As long as there is enough reliable information in those sources, then we just need someone to add it properly. Earlier, I {{diff|diff=3429572|label=removed a claim}} from the article that was just ridiculous, and I totally agree that the version on the English Wikipedia contains a lot more of that. Hopefully the Urdu or the Pashto versions are a bit more balanced and can provide a base from which to expand the article properly.
