The article is good overal, except for a few minor problems, which have been stated below. However, if the problems are not fixed within one week, I will have to fail the nomination. Warrior4321 23:17, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

In depth review

Lead

• A lead of this article size would require one to two paragraphs. Perhaps adding another paragraph is needed, as there is more information about South Asians and politics than there is about himself.
• The lead talks more about South Asians and politics (as mentioned in previous comment), than it talks about himself. The lead should be more about Saqib Ali : his life, his family etc.

MOS

• There a few one/two sentence sections
• There are too many quoations. Every section has atleast a quoation. Too many quoations are not needed ; it makes the article look lazy.
• The quoations are not attributed to the person who said them in the article itself.
• The career section is empty.  Done
• The legislative notes sub-section should be in paragraph form, not list form.

References

• The 2006 election campaign section does not have a citation. Please add one.
• The information in the infobox template on the right is a quick summary of the information in the article. However, the infobox presents new unsourced information.
• Some inline citations are placed like external links.
• Several links are dead. See here for the dead links.
• There a few {{citation needed}} templates.

Images

• The image placed in this article has a very high chance that it was not taken by that user. The user has had many copyright problems with other images.
