to Shair. The subject has been discussed several times by the reliable sources for his contribution to the Shair journal – http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/This-mag-has-preserved-all-letters-to-their-editors/articleshow/4595125.cms, http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/sunday-times/Lafz-in-the-time-of-saas-bahu/articleshow/2456318.cms, http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-metroplus/this-shair-continues-to-thrive/article3189771.ece, etc. He has also won few awards for his work for the magazine, as discussed http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/83-years-on-Urdu-magazine-has-all-letters-to-editor/articleshow/15098446.cms here & http://www.livehindustan.com/news/faizabad/article1-Sbdsatta-honor-to-Iftikhar-Imam-Siddiqui-646342.html here. Although few of those awards were given by state governments, none of them seem notable. Outside his work for the journal, he is only known for being one of the lyricists of Arth (film) – http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/column-bollywood-retrospect-5-film-albums-that-helped-make-jagjit-singh-a-phenomenon-2174498. So, he doesn't seem to pass , and the page should be redirected to Shair. I would've suggested merge, but the ''Shair'' article already contains some information regarding him. And there doesn't seem to be any new relevant material in the present version of this BLP
