Notability[edit]

Two questions which keep coming to mind, on reading/seeing so many sub-standard and un-Wikified articles on Pakistani politicians are: 9a) Is everyone who has ever won an election and held any party office in Pakistan truly to be deemed 'notable' enough for inclusion here? and (b) if not, then why have all these superfluous articles, why not simply delete or merge most of them? Also, in the case of this particular article, it seems it is a small stub and that it is basically seeking to establish 'notability' of the subject solely on the basis of his relationship to the poet Iqbal and to his father, Justice Javed Iqbal --but the fact is, the subject in question is as yet merely a lawyer and a member of a political party and has no real claims to being notable in either respect. I would earnestly recommend deletion of this, please. Thanks 39.54.48.210 (talk) 17:07, 9 March 2012 (UTC)Prof Asad U Khwaja[reply]

Waleed or Walid?[edit]

There are two spellings of his first name on Wikipedia. I'm not sure that Waleed is correct. Aside from this page, the name appears as:

Father: Waleed
Mother: Walid (piped Wikilink)
Senators of Pakistan: Walid

The Senate of Pakistan also lists him as Walid on its website^[1] Lindenfall (talk) 00:01, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm certain it's Walid, as evidenced by his Twitter bio (https://twitter.com/walidiqbalpti) and personal website (https://walidiqbal.pk).</nowiki> Toofllab (talk) 18:49, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
