Want to send this article to draft, current policy does not allow for articles to be sent to draft if they are over 90 days old. Article needs some serious cleaning up. I had some difficulty finding sources but I only checked in English not Urdu. The topic sounds like it could pass GNG with some additional sources.

Draftify Would prefer to send this to draft so it can be improved. Author is still active on Wikipedia so sending to draft will not act as a backdoor deletion. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 07:06, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep — with proper maintenance tag. Sufficient Urdu sources with deep coverage are available: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6] and more. Insight 3 (talk) 15:14, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  @Insight 3 I was only able to translate a few of the articles but are they all coverage of his death or are there any other sources about him? From the sources you gave and the way the article talks about him he sounds important and notable. That was why I wanted to send this to draft and not delete it, because if there are other sources that can support GNG then it would be great to add them. Also the article needs some love and care, as it is it's a little rough. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 18:57, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Yes, most of them have been published at his death. But this is not uncommon with pre-internet celebrities that we now find only their obituaries. The sources 3, 4 & 6 give pretty detailed biography of the subject. Insight 3 (talk) 07:59, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be remain in wikipedia. _ Noor Gee __WikiFriend_☺ 12:15, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sending an article to draft does not remove it from Wikipedia. No one wants to delete this article but we have to do something with it because of the state it's in. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 21:55, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
