I have looked into the references for the section specified in the article and I found this one ^[1]

can this be used as reference as this is a reference from another Wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sibtehassanbutt (talk • contribs) 18:59, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As Wikipedia, in whatever language, is considered user-generated content, it cannot itself be used as a reference.

Normally, though, when you find a page in a different language Wikipedia, the sources used there may be considered for use in English Wikipedia. Looking at the article you referenced, I can't properly evaluate refs 1 and 4. Refs 2 and 3 seem to point to the same page, which is to a site called "The Library Pk" - but on looking at it, it seems more like a personal blog than independent reporting. That same site is the sole reference used on the English Wikipedia page here and seems inadequate to support notability all by itself. You could evaluate those other two - refs 1 and 4 - to see if they might be helpful. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:49, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sibtehassanbutt: Normally, you would use the {{help}} templates on your own talk page. Here, I need to add a ping of some sort. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:53, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
