Unreliable Sources Template Tag[edit]

I am currently updating the citations on this page by adding new citations, and adding more information to existing ones, to the extent that the "Unreliable Sources" template tag can be removed.

A Chatham House links [1] [2] in the article is a broken link; the original article exists on another page and is locked for public access. The associated information is "He is known for documentaries which shed light on the socio political conditions of Pakistan, and feature strong characters on personal journeys of self-discovery", and "Naqvi identifies as a Liberal Muslim belonging to the Shia sect of Islam, which has led to his interest in exploring the lives of minorities in Pakistan."

The summary "He is known for documentaries which shed light on the socio political conditions of Pakistan, and feature strong characters on personal journeys of self-discovery", particularly the second half of the sentence, could do with some re-working, especially if this citation is the only one supporting such a claim. Similarly, with "Naqvi identifies as a Liberal Muslim belonging to the Shia sect of Islam, which has led to his interest in exploring the lives of minorities in Pakistan", while it is true that Naqvi belongs to the Shia sect of Islam, it is a sweeping generalization to say that this has led to his interest in exploring the lives of minorities. The particular utility of identifying him as a "Liberal Muslim" is unclear. Per Wikipedia's policy on sources Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Reliable_sources, I am seeking to remove this sentence altogether.

Would appreciate some feedback with reference to these changes, and about how to remove the Unreliable Sources Template tag. Thank you!
