Independent secondary sources

...would be required to justify the inclusion of huge sections dedicated to potentially irrelevant details. WP:PSTS, a section of the policy against original research, contains a detailed description of Wikipedia's preference for independent secondary sources. I have removed large parts of the article for now, and I'd object to their re-addition without independent secondary citations. Especially claims such as "famous for" can't reliably depend on an Amazon link to a book published by the article subject. Per WP:ONUS, the content should stay removed until a consensus for inclusion is found. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 10:03, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

Hmmh, I have the impression your message didn't reach Maisamhussainmirza.. – NJD-DE (talk) 10:22, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

Maisamhussainmirza, this is still relevant. – NJD-DE (talk) 11:49, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Njd-de, but I do not have a secondary source available. Whatever is known is from his short autobiography in his work.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Maisamhussainmirza (talk • contribs) 00:54, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

In case you don't have secondary sources you shouldn't include such claims in the article. In fact, we should consider deleting this article entirely if no secondary sources exist that would establish the article subject's notability. – NJD-DE (talk) 10:38, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Njd-de, Yes, if possible please remove the article itself. because whatever information is available about the author is from his autobiography only Maisamhussainmirza
