| Submission declined on 19 July 2024 by Cabrils (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO) but presently it is not clear that it does. As you may know, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’. Please note that many of the references are not from sources that are considered reliable for establishing notability and should be removed (including blogs, company websites, Medium, Twitter, YouTube). Additionally, the draft tends to read too much like a CV, which Wikipedia is not. Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link). Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements, then please make the necessary amendments before resubmitting the page. It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject. It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:ANYBIO criteria #3, because XXXXX"). Once you have implemented these suggestions, you may also wish to leave a note for me on my talk page and I would be happy to reassess. Cabrils (talk) 00:25, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
Moinuddin Cowlas (1915 - 12 December 1980) was Kiladar of Kowlas Fort, journalist, poet and a member of the All-India Muslim League.[1][2][3]
He was the eldest son of Maulvi Muhammad Jamaluddin Sheikh who was appointed by the Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan in 1915 as the Kiladar of Kowlas Fort. Moinuddin was born with the surname of Sheikh but when he succeeded his father as the Kiladar, he changed his surname to Kowlas. He graduated from Osmania University as a Journalist, and wrote for the Nizam Gazette newspaper. During the 1947 Partition he chose to stay in Hyderabad and work towards it's accession to Pakistan.[1][4]
In the 1948 Annexation of Hyderabad, Moinuddin Cowlas was detained by the Indian forces due to his involvement in the Pakistan Movement, subsequently his properties were seized. He was given a choice to either stay in India or migrate to Pakistan, he chose the latter and was banned by the Indian authorities from India. Upon migrating to Karachi on 15th September 1948, Moinuddin anglicized his surname from Kowlas to Cowlas therefore allowing him and his family to visit India. He remained as the hereditary titular Kiladar of Kowlas until his death on 12th December 1980 in Karachi.[1][5]
