This autobiography fails WP:GNG. References are either mere mentions or are articles he has written. The only basis for keeping this would be WP:ANYBIO as a recipient of Sitara-i-Imtiaz, but there's only a paragraph of coverage of him receiving the award, so I don't see this as being enough.

- Comment This article has also existed as Draft:Brigadier Masud Ahmad Khan Retd. I am presuming Masudakhan and Masudpk75 are the same user, as did Aamir7570, but Masudkhanmusician is a different editor who created drafts of a musician of the same name.

- Delete - Lacks WP: SIGCOV. Strangely, no source other than cited in the article confirms he received Sitara-i-Imtiaz in 2014. I have checked both English and Urdu sources. Insight 3 (talk) 13:41, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- This tweet shows it around his neck, so I do think he received it,[1] but Awards and decorations of the Pakistan Armed Forces says Sitara-e-Imtiaz (Military) (Star of Excellence) is "Awarded to colonel & above, for excellence of work/spontaneous meritorious service or on completion of 18 years of service" so might not be exclusive enough.
