• Delete, non-notable, Looks personal page. Not enough justification --Suchmuch 19:46, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. Survived Afd only last month, with slim majority of comments opposing deletion, and nothing has changed. Monicasdude 20:21, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete Normally I'd say far too soon to renominate as it's just survived AfD. However this article stinks of hoax to me! I can find no record of him or his supposed play at Pakistan television. There's no mention of him at Harvard. An anon removed the Afd notice several time during the last debate and has now blanked the talk page of the AfD record (I've reverted that). The whole CV is highly implausible and the quatrains are rubbish whatever the authors native language. This article is totally unverifiable - anyone can post photoshop book covers to wiki.

• Keep Google "Khurshid Marwat Harvard" and check cache for 2nd link. He seems to be on "Citizen magazine at Harvard". [1] Keep, if he could supply more info. --Kartoos 22:23, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Well spotted - a site search didn't throw that up! So we now know there's a Khurshid Marwat in MPA1 in Harvard. Also that some of the article vandalism is coming from a Harvard IP address 128.103.186.226. The Fulbright, play and book are all unverifiable. Dlyons493 Talk
• delete. not verifiable. Mukadderat 18:55, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete - not verifiable through any means. If kept, should be reverted to Dlyons493's one-line version, which contains the only verified material in the page's history. (ESkog)^(Talk) 19:23, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. I created this article and in the light of the above racist remark of Dlyons493 which is the quatrains are rubbish whatever the authors native language I would humbly request the closing editor to delete the entire article.(Jtm97 20:31, 26 February 2006 (UTC))
  • How does a statement about the literary merit of some poetry have anything to do with racism?? (ESkog)^(Talk) 20:34, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment if any editor cares to look at my record, they will find I've been active in working against systemic bias and have voted for and rescued articles from many non-English sources. I've also edited quite a few poetry articles, so that's my literary side talking and has nothing to do with racism. I'll be happy if the article is sourced and can thus be retained. Dlyons493 Talk
• Delete I could not locate the book Milky Way of Ache anywhere - OCLC/WorldCat, Google, Arts and Humanities Citation Index, MLA International Bibliography, my local (University of Washington) library, or New York Public Library. I couldn't search the library of congress, since it seems to be down at the moment, but the book may be a vanity press or self-published chapbook (and as such, not notable). I am open to further information, but if that is not forthcoming, delete it. --Hansnesse 21:22, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
