Comment –
Zarb-e-Sukhan of the author
Ehsan Sehgal is a poetry collection of their four-decade long career & it consists 1000 plus pages. It was reviewed by multiple newspapers:
So, it seems to pass
GNG. If others think otherwise, it should definitely be merged with the author's article. -

Delete. This self-published poetry book doesn't come close to meeting any of the three
thresh-hold criteria for book notability.
1) It doesn't have an ISBN number.
2) worldcat searches in both English and Urdu return zero results for it in library holdings (compared to the threshold criteria of a dozen or more holdings)
Normally, failure of any one of these would be taken as exclusionary. There were a small number of reviews, but nothing to suggest notability, and certainly not enough to suggest this book warrants a standalone article distinct from the author page.
I'd also note that there's a strong argument that this breaches
WP:G11. The article was created by a personal friend of the author who
'shares his computer sometimes', and was first added to minutes after creation by the author himself. I've tried removing some of the more explicit promotional language, but it's still inherently promotional.
I've not much against merging to the author page except that there's basically nothing here that isn't a duplication of what's there anyway.

Delete as the article fails
WP:GNG and
WP:NBOOK. I was in favour of merge previously but looking at the sources and BLP's AfD it will be better to delete this page. Best, we can redirect it. Greenbörg(talk) 06:44, 22 July 2017 (UTC)reply
