Keep - I created this article quite some time ago and while not very notable, or famous, the poet Omer Tarin is still reasonably notable and well known as a Pakistani poet writing in English. He has received some critical attention in his country and elsewhere and students have even written research theses on his poetic writings. I still believe this article has a future for eventual expansion as the poet is still writing and his work is regularly published. So I would suggest to Keep, please. thanks.

@Khani100: Could you link examples of the critical attention or theses? — MarkH₂₁^talk 20:30, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MarkH21, I can mention some of the sources offhand but I don't think they would be available online. For example, well-known Pakistani critics and writers like Tariq Rahman and Alamgir Hashmi have critiqued his poetry in their articles in Pakistani and foreign publications. I think a review appeared many years ago in The Journal of Commonwealth Literature , UK in the 1990s. I also remember that 2-3 theses were written on his poetry at BA and MA levels, in Pakistan. I think one thesis was written by a student at the University of Malakand in KP province of Pakistan, I think it was supervised by Prof Aziz of that university's English Department, probably sometime in 2013-2014. Many Pakistani writers and poets who write in English and are quite well-known started writing way back in the 1980s and the 1990s , they were also critiqued and reviewed back then mostly but does that mean that if something isn't available online it doesn't exist? Look at the pages on Wikipedia regarding Pakistani poets like Kaleem Omar, Taufiq Rafat, Shahryar Rashed and others. They are all well known writers but there is little material available on them today online. Omer Tarin is part of this chain or tradition of English poetry from Pakistan. Except for a few , the rest are now deceased. Omer Tarin and Harris Khalique are two who are still writing and will certainly grow in name and stature. They should remain.
