Fails WP:GNG & WP:ORGSIG. I am unable to find any sources discussing this newspaper indepth. Darkness Shines (talk) 15:27, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. A google search returned no other website other than the official website. Clearly non-notable Strike Σagle 15:36, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: No sources provided. Everything I can find with a Google search is completely irrelevant to the topic. "Worldwide weekly", hence, seems a far-fetched claim. smtchahal(talk) 15:51, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, I agree. It's not notable. Faizan -Let's talk! 07:26, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: This AfD should be listed by country-related discussions of Pakistan and UAE at a minimum, the deletion request link on the article is not working and there may be transliteration problems that limit the hits in searches.Crtew (talk) 09:41, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- This article seems to be a duplicate of Ash-Sharq, even down to having the same web site, with the single difference of one being a daily publication and the other a weekly, so the two articles should be considered together. It would help enormously to have their names in Arabic script so that we have a chance of finding coverage in reliable sources. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:40, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Ash-sharq in Arabic script is (الشرق). I would guess it looks the same in Urdu. Samandar Paar is not an Arabic word and it has the letter "P" in it, so I'm not sure how it would look in actual Urdu script. It can't be written in Arabic. MezzoMezzo (talk) 04:04, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Samundr Par is written like this (سمندر پار) in Urdu. Ash-Sharq is the same in both Urdu and Arabic.

- Delete - Article failes WP:GNG as there is no significant coverage in reliable sources. Simple as that. --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 18:57, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
