New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in online sources. Hook ref verified and cited inline. QPQ done. One question: Did his eulogizer really say he lived "an incomplete life", or was it "a complete life"? Yoninah (talk) 15:13, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

- @Yoninah: The eulogizer definitely doesn't mean "a complete life". He describes how subject had a distrubing life cause of three marriages and then quotes Chekov from Three Sisters "If one life, which has been already lived, were only a rough sketch so to speak, and the second were the fair copy!" He then says that Ashk died when it was time to make such better copies. Maybe it could be better translated as "unfulfilled life" than "incomplete life". What do @Vivvt and SpacemanSpiff: say about the appropriate translation of "अधूरी ज़िंदगी ही जी पाए नीलाभ.." §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 17:43, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
