• Keep - He is a former Governor of the State Bank of Pakistan. That position has been removed out of the article text although the infobox and category identifying him as a former Governor remain. His position was held for only a brief period in 1971, but I would expect that there would be paper sources that exist, and not necessarily in English. -- Whpq (talk) 23:03, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• delete being the governor of the state bank is not inherently notable. I would reconsider if someone found coverage in Urdu. LibStar (talk) 22:05, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. You need to google under S.U. Durrani to track him down properly. A lot of Indians and Pakistanis follow the convention of using first names very rarely in public. I've found this [1] and this [2] and, more entertainingly this [3], which together seem to meet the requirements of WP:SECONDARY. There's also [4]: if Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto thought him notable enough to put under house arrest, that's good enough for me! Incidentally, it's worth reading the article about his daughter Tehmina Durrani. The father seems a dull dog, but worthy. The daughter's article is not well written but she was clearly a lot more fun. Fiachra10003 (talk) 02:40, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• This appears to be his name in Urdu: (Urdu: شاکر اللہ درانی) I WP:GOOGLETESTed it and numerous articles came up. Urdu, however, is far from my skill set so I'm not really the guy to do an WP:RESCUE job here. Fiachra10003 (talk) 03:23, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
