Pashtun or Punjabi?[edit]

Apparently there is a dispute both here and on the rest of the Internet whether Hamid is Pashtun, Punjabi, or both. Since this is a WP:BLP we need a reliable source for any controversial claim or it must be removed (as I have done for now). Thundermaker (talk) 20:03, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hamid Gul early life misleading and unsourced[edit]

I cited the existing source of the article that said it was his FATHER (https://www.news18.com/blogs/world/anchal-vohra/when-i-met-hamid-gul-14333-1046421.html). He is also clearly of the Punjabi-Pathan category, undisputed by anyone on this site. I've also personally met with the son of Hamid Gul a while ago.
The "Yusufzai" edit is what is actually unsourced anywhere, only added because hes from Swat, which is far from, an ethnically/tribally homogenus place.. The Available and existing source tells us his background of father being Pashtun from Swat, he himself and his descendants being life long settled in Punjab 49.185.97.46 (talk) 03:14, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
