Talk:List of British Pakistanis

Red links
Article has a lot of redlinks. If some citations via a (fact template) footnote could be provided to support the notability of each redlinked person, then it could make easy reference to their works. This is a common practice I've seen being used on many other articles where notability is either borderline or a page is still to be created.

Inclusion criteria
It would help to agree on inclusion criteria, say having an article. Alternatively allowing only redlink entries with sources that (obviously) meet WP:GNG / WP:BIO. Having the same criteria for the other lists would be a way forward. Widefox ; talk 08:44, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Aga Khan ??
Re:

Aga Khan III – Karachi-born and Cambridge University educated. Khan III served as the President of the League of Nations from 1937–38.

The Aga Khan linked to and described, was born in British India and it is therefore disputable whether he was either British or Pakistani (though probably the latter, since he was instrumental in its founding). The ref is for Aga Khan IV, who has British citizenship, but who may or may not be meaningfully Pakistani ( of Pakistan descent via his grandfather, Aga Khan III). I'm not sure how to fix this, whether either, both or neither should be included here. Pincrete (talk) 17:06, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
