Move this page[edit]

Since this page is currently a disambiguation page, I think it should be moved to Muhammad Arshad (disambiguation) as it belongs better there. This will make space for another much more useful article here. Secondly, as @Lithopsian: said, only one extant page is currently being disambiguated so there really is no point of this page.UserNumber (talk) 09:51, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@UserNumber:. Hello. As I indicated on your Talk page, you should create your new article at a different title, perhaps Muhammad Arshad (writer). If you then consider the writer to be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC you could then submit a WP:Requested move to move Muhammad Arshad (writer) to Muhammad Arshad, and move Muhammad Arshad to Muhammad Arshad (disambiguation).

Agreed. Create your article, or expand an existing one, and don't get so hung up on the page title. Everybody naturally thinks the article they're writing is the most important thing in the world, but usually it is just another article. Read the guidance on when and if an ambiguous term has a primary topic, and once your article is in place we can discuss whether there is a primary topic. Given that there is currently only one article for this term, you might be tempted to think it is the primary topic. However, your goal is to create a new article for a different Muhammad Arshad, so clearly there is a discussion to be had about which is the primary topic. Even given two articles, I find it overwhelmingly likely that there will be a primary topic (toss a coin!) and that this dab page should be moved, but we don't have the information to make that decision yet. Write the article, give it a while, and we'll know better.

I have to admit I didn't look into this in depth when I reverted your edits, so don't read too much into my edit summary. Especially, note that I reverted your attempt to cut&paste this dab page into Muhammad Arshad (disambiguation)primarily because that is not the correct way to move/rename a page. See WP:RM for how it should be done, and don't be tempted to claim it is a non-controversial move because even if the admin doesn't kick it back, it will get reverted later for sure.
