List of mental health organisations in Pakistan moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, List of mental health organisations in Pakistan, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Thank you, I have improved it with references. JogiAsad (talk) 13:21, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, JogiAsad,
I just wanted to let you know that if Draft:List of mental health organisations in Pakistan is moved back to main space and these categories have been deleted, we can restore them in just a couple of seconds. Categories that are deleted simply for being empty can always be restored should they be needed later. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 18:29, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
