Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Haidar Malik
Apparently an Afd created by a newbie account who might not have perhaps completely understood our  and  notability guidelines. Not much helped either by the quality of the current article. Haidar Malik is a historic personality, referred to by multiple scholars and authors for his uniquely iconoclastic representation of history of the Kashmir region in his year 1621 treatise https://books.google.co.in/books/about/History_of_Kashmir.html?id=nTFuAAAAMAAJ&redir_esc=y Tarikh-i-Haidar Malik. Haidar Malik's life and work are covered significantly in innumerable books like ''Kashmir under the Sultans'',https://books.google.ch/books?id=EUlwmXjE9DQC&pg=PA8&lpg=PA8&dq=%22Haidar+Malik%22+AND+%22Kashmir%22+-wikipedia&source=bl&ots=oM-o8X3tK-&sig=CTOodxGrB53mU29vetlmGq61p4w&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjkmJfN9YjXAhVKFZQKHTuNAv4Q6AEIKDAB#v=onepage&q=%22Haidar%20Malik%22&f=false ''Dictionary of Indo-Persian literature'',https://books.google.ch/books?id=qjJmzdJFOHwC&pg=PA215&lpg=PA215&dq=%22Haidar+Malik%22+AND+%22Kashmir%22+-wikipedia&source=bl&ots=XhfT3WYqQt&sig=RevrOyT0YX0Q-ASITCMhETrll2M&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjkmJfN9YjXAhVKFZQKHTuNAv4Q6AEIXTAR#v=onepage&q=%22Haidar%20Malik%22&f=false, ''Kashmiri Scholars Contribution to Knowledge and World Peace'',https://books.google.ch/books?id=It1LePnN2LsC&pg=PA289&dq=%22Haidar+Malik%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjIsfSZ9YjXAhVBvY8KHS-WBloQ6AEIQjAF#v=onepage&q=%22Haidar%20Malik%22&f=false, ''Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, Cambridge'',https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-the-royal-asiatic-society/article/xii-hastivanj/4623DC420A9D0A7B0CEF6C3F255861FE ''Economic history of Kashmir during The Mughal period 1586 1819 AD'', http://ir.inflibnet.ac.in:8080/jspui/bitstream/10603/28539/7/07_introduction.pdf and https://www.google.com/search?tbs=bks:1&q=%22Haidar+Malik%22 innumerable others. He's been oft quoted as being amongst the three most important historians of his times. The subject qualifies on both  and . I'll encourage the {{u|Academicoffee71|nominator}} to withdraw the nomination and to contact me on my talk page to understand better Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Warmly
