Comment Hello Greenbörg, I hope you are doing well. I want to discuss about the page and want to know what are the exactly issue that page has been flagged. Idris Azad is famous a writer and teacher here in Pakistan . I have read "A lot categories" is main issue mentioned. Can you please let know should i have to remove these categories? any help will be really appreciated.

~~Note: Idris Azad is famous with both names, Idris Azad and Idrees Azad. Thanks (Newdill 15:48, 29 July 2017 (UTC))~~

We have a article when someone is notable not famous (i.e don't know what you mean by famous). You should provide references where subject is discussed but sources should be reliable. Greenbörg (talk) 16:35, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

*Comment User:Greenbörg, Idris Azad is author notable books as mentioned on page and these books are available world wide also in notable libraries. There are two Mphil theses have been done on his works in two notable Pakistani's Universities(Allama Iqbal Open University and University of Lahore). Unfortunately both of these thesis are in Pakistan's native language Urdu. I would really appreciate if Wikipedia Admins from Pakistan could visit Idris Azad page or who could read Urdu Language.

Comment Hello User:Greenbörg !! I hope you are doing well. I have updated the page Idris Azad with new references and added some notable references. I hope you will check the page and reconsider about template you have assigned to the page. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated. Also, i have received the copy of Mphil Thesis "(Noreen, Fariya, Idrees Azad Ki Tareekhi Novel Nigari (Critical Analysis of Idrees Azad's Historical Novel Writing) (Mphil). University of Lahore)" and i can share the photos of this thesis as it is not available on university website.' Thanks --(Newdill 22:12, 30 July 2017 (UTC))[reply]

Weak keep. If the subject is sufficiently important as to have MPhil theses written about him, that does seem to suggest that there's a level of notability there. I don't have any Urdu, so I can't verify that those sources in that language are what they would need to be, but I'm happy to take that on faith if nobody else (other than a major contributor, just for reasons of transparency) is able to provide that proof. Moreover, I'm not convinced that "the article is in too many categories" is a particularly helpful deletion rationale. This one is in more than the average, I suspect, but it's a peculiar argument to advance. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 11:24, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
