No sources, no verification of notability, references section is bewildering text that doesn't appear to reference anything. ΣΑΠΦ (Sapph)^Talk 20:08, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Google book search yields several hits where he is mentioned in Indian encyclopedia. Looks like the unreadable reference that is now in place. That's all I can find about him, which is probably normal as he died almost 30 years ago. MakeSense64 (talk) 23:11, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have added two book references. MakeSense64 (talk) 08:12, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be happy to Delete, but I know we are traditionally very soft on poets and playwrights. --Legis (talk - contribs) 07:48, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think we're having trouble because what there is is on paper and in Urdu, as well as being 40 years ago or more. But it seems his full name was Manju Qamaraidullāhī and he was born in 1912 not 1908 acc to Library of Congress - some pages use both names for him so I'm fairly confident (ahem) they're the same person. We do rather need the help of an Urdu speaker here. But I've Boldly Added a list of his plays to the article. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:29, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the sources currently listed in our article suggest that Manju Qamar/Manju Qamaraidullāhī is a notable personality of Urdu literature. I agree with Chiswick Chap: We need the help of a competent Urdu speaker rather than deletion. Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 15:38, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
