I'm open-minded as to the notability of the article, but am sure that offline sources can be perfectly acceptable. In Wikipedia:Citing Sources we have the sentence "If your source is not findable online, it should be findable in reputable libraries, archives, or collections. If a citation without an external link is challenged as unfindable, any of the following is sufficient to show the material to be reasonably findable (though not necessarily reliable): providing an ISBN or OCLC number; linking to an established Wikipedia article about the source (the work, its author, or its publisher); or directly quoting the material on the talk page, briefly and in context." The source Phil Bridger added is online (albeit behind a subscription wall), and appears to comes from a press release (from a notable press agency), and to have been reproduced in the also-notable Financial Times. That looks like an OK source to me. Gonzonoir ( talk) 11:49, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
In my assessment, this page has suffered from the relentless attempt of one editor, who seems by the similarity of names to be directly associated with the subject of the article, to present Mazhar Abro in the most flattering way. This has involved the inclusion of hyperbolic statements, poorly referenced statements and unreferenced statements. Citations to reliable, authoritative, and neutral third-party sources are essential. Wikipedia requires them. Two good sets of Wikipedia guidelines that I have found really useful can be found HERE and HERE. Regards, George Custer's Sabre ( talk) 06:07, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
