You have to remove Shahrukh´s name from this list, because he is not a Punjabi, he is a Pathan! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.72.36.86 (talk) 21:10, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from Pariezade, 29 April 2010
In the List of Punjabis please take out Sunny Leone from the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Punjabis#Models category. She is a Canadian born Adult Porn Star, who is not Punjabi. Though her parents were Indian, her father was from Tibet and her mother from Himachal Pradesh. She has a separate page where you can find more information. Thank you.

 * "She has a separate page ..." - Including a statement that she is of "Punjabi" ancestry. I do see the ongoing censorship effort at her page, but I have reverted it.-  Sinneed  12:44, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Comment from top of page
The 'List of Punjabis' describes it as a 'full spectrum list' of Punjabis. If by that is meant that all prominent Punjabis are listed on it then that is questionable. For example the list on educators and scientists is most certainly arbitrary, limited and unrepresentative. Some Punjabis have accomplished a great deal but are not included. It refers also to the list of writers and poets and so on. I have recently retired as Professor Emeritus of Political Science, Stockholm University and am the Honorary Senior Fellow of the Institute of South Asian Studies, National University of Singapore. Also my forthcoming book 'The Punjab Bloodied, Partitioned and Cleansed: Unravelling the 1947 Tragedy through Secret British Reports and First-Person Accounts' will be the first study presenting evidence from both sides of the Punjab. I would like to be included among the list of educators. I have also been the International Adviser to the Department of Political Science Stockholm University in connection with developing linkages with the global educational community. I am already listed on wikipedia as Ishtiaq Ahmed, political scientist.Even otherwise I am willing to join any wikipedia group that advises on Pakistani or South Asian politics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Billumian (talk • contribs) 18:02, 17 August 2010

Edit Request
Can someone provide me privileges to edit this page? The list of Punjabi cricketers is incomplete. There are punjabi cricketers who play for South Africa and Netherlands. — AmericanMirza (talk) 21:30, 27 February 2011 (UTC) Preceding unsigned comment added by AmericanMirza (talk • contribs) 21:13, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Do you have a reference for why they are a notable family? Banaticus (talk) 16:38, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Removing template as request is on hold: if you have links to any sources to prove notability please mention them here on the talk page again and re-add the edit template. -- gtdp (T)/(C) 11:48, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Why this Kapoor family is notable ... Just see this ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raj_Kapoor Raj Kapoor is listed as winner of 9 filmfare awards, which is big. Go back one generation, and count the number of family members having 2-3 scrollable wikipedia pages in their individual names ... you will find the number to be in double digits. If this is not notable, not sure what is. I was also surprised to see this family missing, but other smaller families listed. Starting 1930s until now (almost 80 years), someone or other in this family has been in limelight. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.166.133.118 (talk) 07:26, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
