  • Keep and cleanup. The reasons given above aren't reasons to delete the page (certainly, the fact that the page isn't worked on frequently isn't a good reason). JCO312 15:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The article is good but would need some wikifying and clean-up. Tellyaddict 16:17, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keeper Good enough. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Iheartseeplusplus (talk • contribs) 19:40, 30 January 2007 (UTC).-- User has ten edits, all made within a ten-minute period.
  • Keep, but needs references to support claimed notability. MastCell 19:52, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, article has potential PMJ 20:48, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Unfortunately, this article appears to be mostly a cut-and-paste from here - either that or the other way around. He does, however, have several credits at IMDb, a mention on OpenDemocracy.net, and a total of 1,340 Google hits - and that's just in English. The copyvio needs to go, but the topic is definitely notable. Remove copyvio, rewrite and keep. Tony Fox (arf!) 21:03, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Changing to merge and redirect to [{Saadat Hasan Manto]] as indicated below. Good call. Tony Fox (arf!) 17:23, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Comment I've added a 1960s biographical sketch and a 2005 commemorative stamp. That's good enough for WP:RS. Mereda 11:22, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Definitely expand the article, but if he has his own stamp, then I would say he is notable. MetsFan76 12:36, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to Saadat Hasan Manto. --Mereda 14:21, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
