Non-notable writer, appears to fail WP: BIO and WP:GNG. No coverage in reliable secondary sources. CataracticPlanets (talk) 22:33, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

My searches make it fairly clear that there was a writer/actor of this name active in the sub-continent in the 20th century, that he was part of a family of notable actors and people active in the film industry, that at least one young relative of his is now a fledgling film producer, and that he not the same person as Akhtar Hussain (musician). On the other hand, I know very little about Bollywood, so I will not attempt even to put up a stub on him. And I can see the sense in WP:DELETEING this unsourced article. Merely, this should not inhibit the writing of a solid article by someone with the expertise and some really solid sources.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:57, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

I would really appreciate if no one deleted this page as Akhtar Hussain is my grandfather and I feel he has been short changed by the industry because he wasn't as well known as his more famous siblings. It is hard for me to find sources for this outside of IMDB because he wasn't as well known as them. All I have is my word, and I don't see the problem because it's such a harmless Wikipedia page. But I really want him to have more of an online presence. It hurts me that he doesn't.
