Keep. There is enough coverage about the subject in the sources. Greaterkashmir.com talks about his background, early life, and career. I find that it passes notability and warrants this subject to have a page of his own. RangersRus (talk) 14:37, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. This is tricky to evaluate without the ability to read Kashmiri, but this article mentions a close founding association with Adbi Markaz Kamraz, and the number of news organizations running obituaries describing him as a major poet seems suggestive.— Moriwen (talk) 17:35, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, sporadic mentions in Indian Literature over a few decades, which means that offline and/or Kashmiri language sources are likely to exist for someone who primarily wrote in Kashmiri. Mach61 06:56, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, Muzaffar Aazim is a distinguished writer of the Kashmiri language. There are enough offline sources like The History of Kashmiri Language and Literature initially published by the Kashmiri Department of the University of Kashmir that can verify the notability of the writer.

weak keep: Moriwen makes a good point, as does RangersRus. I think this squeaks by on GNG. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:55, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
