Talk:List of Pakistanis

Heads of State Section
This section should be split into List of Governors General, List of Prime Ministers, and List of Presidents. ASM 09:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I disagree The list is segregated into far too many levels already. Further dividing sections would just clutter up everything. Heads of State is pretty straightforward. If we segregate it any further, then there'd be a list for Nazims, then Taluka counsellors, then local government authorities, then school teachers. How far would one be willing to go? :) Arun Reginald (talk) 13:04, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Foreign Ministers

 * Sir Chaudhry Muhammad Zafarullah Khan Sahib (6 February 1893 - 1 September 1985) was a Pakistani diplomat, Pakistan’s first foreign minister

Sunnis
Why are non-Sunni personalities being prejudiced against? Most Sunni scientists, diplomats, politicians, military generals are thieves, traitors, dictators, looters, foreign agents, morally/sexually corrupt anyways. Why are they being prominently mentioned here over non-Sunnis? Fayselaslam (talk) 19:15, 24 February 2008 (UTC) I believe the language being used by Fayselaslam is highly improper. It amounts to slander which is a violation of Wikipedia guidelines. I would request the above outburst is deleted. Abikan(talk) 13:35, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan. No scientist!
Anyone who thinks Dr Qadeer is a scientist, please provide credentials. How many scientific papers has he written in reputable journals? No one becomes a scientist just because a lot of paindoos say he is. Read wiki article on him, especially "Interview of Dr.Samar Mubarak-Head of Pakistan Missile Program in WMDs & Missiles" and also Dutch Ex-Prime Minister's interview that they (Dutch) twice wanted to apprehend him but CIA stopped him. He was working with CIA’s knowledge. Why isn’t US making so much fuss over Pakistan’s real nuclear weapons as it is doing on other countries’ nuclear programmes who are no where near making a nuclear weapon? Yes you guessed it, its all with US agreement. Fayselaslam (talk) 19:15, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Removed wrongly pointing link from Abid Ali
I have removed the link from Abid Ali (Film/TV Actor), it was wrongly pointing to Syed Abid Ali, and Indian Cricketer. Fayselaslam (talk) 19:15, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Some important guidelines/suggestions
Your suggestions are welcome. Please discuss how we can make this article better.

Wrongly pointing links even when articles exists Please make sure that links provided point to their respective articles. For instance, I saw an article pointing to I. I. Chundrigar. I know that is the common name he is known by but on Wikipedia we use complete names rendering the same to be Ibrahim Ismail Chundrigar. Make sure that articles do exist for the name you are contributing toward the list. I see all the list of the Qaris. It's hardly likely that they might have their own articles. What do you reckon? Arun Reginald (talk) 14:25, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Red link chaos Please do so that the links to existing articles appear on top and then all the red links should come underneath. If red links exceed a number of six for a sub-section, make sure you add the rest of the red links in the main list page for that particular section. For instance, for Models sub-section, there is a main list article named List of Pakistani models. Arun Reginald (talk) 14:25, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

WHAT ARE THE CRITERIA for inclusion of any name(s) onthis page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.10.161.32 (talk) 19:07, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Red links
Hello. I went through and did a lot of work with the red links. I referenced the ones that I could find a decent source for, removed some when I was unable to find one, and converted several to blue links. For the ones I sourced, I was not always able to find a good source for, most only mentioned the subject in passing. So, while this helped verify them, a lot of them probably aren't notable, but I'll leave that to someone else's judgment. There were a lot in which I was unable to reference, but there may be sources that I was unable to find, so here's the list of names I removed, I'll leave a note explaining why I removed some, for others it was because I was unable to find a reliable source.

Sorry to clog up the talk page, if anyone more familiar with these subjects can find a source, please reinsert it. Thanks! Apparition11|Complaints/ Mistakes 21:33, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Qari Muhammad Farooq
This name (and variations of it) keeps getting reinserted into the article, and I have removed it several times. My reasoning is that WP:Stand-alone lists states that Selected lists of people should be selected for importance/notability in that category and should have Wikipedia articles (or the reasonable expectation of an article in the future). Articles about this person have been A7 speedy deleted 6 times under 2 different variations with one of them getting WP:SALTed. I have tried to discuss it with the editor inserting it at User talk:Shaistakausar.pk, but have not received a response. Does anyone know there is something I'm missing and it should be included?

 * Nevermind, the article has been written again and certainly doesn't appear to be a CSD candidate this time. Barring deletion, this eases all my worries about it (of course). Cheers! Apparition11 Complaints/ Mistakes 16:28, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
