I find no matches in GBooks or GNews and only circular matches or matches to other people with (apparently, if 2002 as year of death is correct) the same name in a general Google search. If the "60 books" mentioned were notable, then independent reliable sources should be available to support the claims made rather than being limited to dubious uploads on scribd or equally dubious Facebook links. PROD removed without explanation along with all past improvement notices, so raising for wider discussion. Fæ (talk) 16:43, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

• Delete - per nom. In addition, it also appears, by the editing history and web results, this biography may be entirely factitious. Lord Arador (talk) 18:49, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
• Keep - problem here might be more to do with lack of English language sources not to mention the variety of ways his name can be transcribed into English. Anyway, slight adjustment of his name produces more favourable results on google books and google scholar. Plenty of notability also.
• Strong Delete This article has no references and that violates WP:BLP Ryan Vesey (talk) 23:59, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
• Comment The article says the person died in 2002, so it can't possibly be a BLP violation, because that policy applies only to articles about people who are living. Cullen328 (talk) 00:29, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
• Keep Google Books shows a number of books by Saeed Akhtar Rizvi translated into English in Tanzania. I assume this is the same person. Cullen328 (talk) 00:35, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
  • No, your assumption appears to be wrong. Sa'id Akhtar Rizvi was born in 1927, this article is about someone born in 1948; 21 years later. Fæ (talk) 07:54, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
