This article has recently undergone a major expansion which I feel is problematic. I have edited the article to tone down the most egregious problems, but I feel the article still suffers.

• The article is based largely on two sources:
  1. an obscure book titled Zahid-e-Pakistan published by Hurmat Publications. The book itself (at least in its English transcribed title) is unknown to Google, but Hurmat Publications is a company founded by Malik himself;^[1]
  2. an article titled "Zahid Malik and Nuclear Pakistan" published in Malik's Pakistan Observer on 1 Sep 2020.^[2]

Based on the article's heavy reliance on these two unreliable sources for its verification, and the almost hagiographic tone used in the article (terms like "Mulim World's Gem" had been included, but have since been removed), I feel that the recent additions should be reverted back to the version prior to the contributions by Ematchkay. I invite that user and others to discuss this matter. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 15:36, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Zahid malik was a pakistani author and founder of newspaper Pakistan observer, the book zahid-e-pakistan was written after his death, it contains articles from different writers sharing thier opinion on Zahid malik. Ematchkay (talk) 16:06, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They come from a valid source of pakistani newspapers and books, I am adding those references. Ematchkay (talk) 16:04, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
