Articles for deletion nomination of Md. Zia-ur-Rahman

I have nominated Md. Zia-ur-Rahman, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Md. Zia-ur-Rahman. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. WWGB (talk) 12:47, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you. WWGB (talk) 13:06, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Md. Zia-ur-Rahman

I see you keep adding lots of stars, but nothing to prove that any of it is true. WWGB (talk) 14:23, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Adding references to the Md. Zia-ur-Rahman article

Hello Rafiquez,

I'm just writing regarding the article on Md. Zia-ur-Rahman. I would like to encourage you to add the sources of your information to the article. As a major general, the subject could possibly be notable enough to be kept at the AFD debate. (Please see the Military History project's general guideline regarding notablity: WP:MILPEOPLE.) If you are having trouble with adding citations to the article, WP:CITE should provide you with the information you require. Please note that any sources you use must satisfy the requirements at: WP:RS. Finally, I'd like to encourage you to provide your opinion at the AFD. The debate is listed here. As the author, you are allowed to state your view as to whether or not the article should be kept or deleted. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Cheers. — AustralianRupert (talk) 13:36, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Second AustralianRupert's views. All we need to keep this is reliable sources, and I believe it should stay, given we have few bios for South Asian senior officers. But we need sources! Contact me if you need any help. Regards Buckshot06 (talk) 06:13, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
