Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Caiyad Phahad
Yup... this article is self-promotional... but does it serve the project better to guide this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Caiyad one-note editor, or push him away from the project entirely? This BLP appears to have at least Daily Jang|some sourcability, though NOT in English.  Would it not be better to request an Urdu-reading Pakistani Wikipedian to instruct the author about |conflict of interest and tag it for |sandblasting, rather than delete it entirely? I note the amount of Pakistani Urdu language coverage indicative perhaps of |notability to Pakistan despite the author being the subject.  The ''Daily Jang'' (the links worked for me) http://e.jang.com.pk/10-03-2011/Karachi/page1.asp is the oldest newspaper in Pakistan, and even though most of us en.Wikipedians cannot read or tranlate Urdu, does that mean give up on it? Interviews offer what interviews offer... Urdu or no. We need to consider whether the subject paid ''FM 101 Pakistan'' to interview him, or if he was notable enough to the Pakistanis to be worth interviewing. I'd hate to see a contributor turned away simply because we do not have Urdu speaking/reading Wikipedians able to asist in his guidence or involved in finding and translating sources
