Article issues as raised on the top of the article are briefy clarified hereunder:

1. Improvement in editing will be taken up in a couple of days thereby amply giving addtional source/references as per Wikipedia standards.

2. This will be a lengthy article after it completes. Hence many sources/refernces will be given in due course of time. Instead of merely copying a published article, a well cited and fully referenced article is being developed on the topic as such one is not available on the internet despite of the fact that Mir Syed Muhammad Nurbakhsh is the founder of a Muslim religious sect i.e. Sufia nurbakhshia.

3. Its neutrality may be a disputed one for any religious fundamentalist but surely not for a learned scholar and educated persons who do research because these are varifiable from the published books of Islam, history and books on Baltistan written by neutral writers of western world and writers of both Shi'ism and Suni'ism.

4. Notablity of the this article's subject may be questionable only to those who are unaware of Sufia Nurbakhshia school of thought of Islam. Sufia Nurbakhshia is perhaps the most peaceful Muslim sect in Pakistan and Muslim world. The followers of this sect are relatively poors and found in Ganche nearly 80%, in Skardu nearly 35% and in Gilgit 10%. The majority of the people of Nubra Ladakh in India are also Nurbakhshi muslims. Reference may be made to the article of Dr. Andreas Reak of Germany on "Nurbakhshies of Baltistan-Revival of the Oldest Muslim Community in Norhtern Areas of Pakistan"

It is however a matter of surprise that no article is yet found written on Syed Muhammad Nurbakhsh Qahistani, the founder of Sufia Nurbakhshia school of thought of Islam on the Internet. That is why I am contributing the present article on the subject focusing on the life and works of Syed Muhammad Nurbakhsh Qahistani. Hence the the question of NOTABILITY should not arise after this clarification rather the worthy team of the exalted WIKIPEDIA the Free Encyclopedia and the educated people around the world should positively help and encourage me and other people (if any) to explore the hitherto unexplored Baltistan, its inhebitants and religion etc. rather than raising fingures on the Notability of Syed Muhammad Nurbakhsh Qahistani and Sufia Nurbakhshia school of thought of Islam, the most moderate sect of Islam. This is not only my claim but the study result of those who have discerned.

Thanking you for the patience to go through this Talk/explanation and anticipating for help and co-operation in this regard.
