- My article with the name of Mian Shams Uddin was deleted. It looks like that was deleted based on assumption that it was adverting or self-promotion but the underline message was noted. This person died more than one hundred years ago and his writings are not yet published / uploaded on internet but his poetry has been published / printed many times in the past. We are planning to have his poetry and other writings uploaded on internet but will take time to do so. I want to know what can we do as we need some assistance from common people who might have some material of his writings or about him who may want to share. We would like to collect that material to publish. Please advise how can we proceed? Regards, Rafiullah Khan (talk) 04:25, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - while the person sounds interesting and possibly notable, without verfifiable references, the article fails WP guidelines. Also, WP is not a place to solicit participation in an information search. It is an encyclopedia where people go to view information already obtained. jsfouche ☽☾Talk 15:38, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
