Ethnicity?
Does anyone know anything about Fakir's ethnic background? His name and looks suggest that he might be of Arab or North african extraction, but I've never seen solid info. Any ideas? AuntFlo (talk) 10:22, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

His Father was of Ethiopian Ancestry According to Ronnie McNeir, that is more than likely correct.Lasttiger (talk) 07:07, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Year of birth?
Two different years of birth are given for Abdul Fakir on this page: 1934 and 1935. One of these is wrong, and this needs to be fixed. Burbridge92 (talk) 23:19, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Personal life
Is a citation needed for "the time of her passing" with regard to Fakir's wife? I have not seen any official obituary for Piper Fakir anywhere. 64.20.196.227 (talk) 18:58, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Duke Fakir → Abdul "Duke" Fakir – Was moved without discussion in March 2022. According to Google it seems Abdul "Duke" fakir is just as common as Duke Fakir.DrKilleMoff (talk) 10:50, 14 July 2023 (UTC)&#32;DrKilleMoff (talk) 10:50, 14 July 2023 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink).
