Talk:Maliheh Afnan

Bahai reference
The book A Lost History of the Baha'i Faith has a forward by Maliha Bahai (Maliha is a variant spelling of Maliheh). I could not find another reference to Maliheh in the book. Assuming that is the correct person, I updated the article with information from the foreword. As far as I can tell this edit was simply throwing the reference into an already written paragraph, and the information was inaccurate. Cuñado ☼ -  Talk  23:05, 19 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Aside from the forward available online, the book itself goes into detail regarding the family lineage. Regards, A35821361 (talk) 16:05, 20 January 2018 (UTC)


 * The available information online conflicts with the version you are reverting to. Cuñado  ☼ -  Talk  22:17, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Nationality
She's alternately described as Palestinian and Israeli. What source do we have that states her nationality as an adult/after the formation of Israel? —C.Fred (talk) 21:20, 5 July 2021 (UTC)


 * The chronological and historical fact; she was born before the istablishment of Israel, and spent the rest of her life as a refugee BECAUSE she was NOT an Israeli citizen! To make it clear, calling her an Israeli is just like calling Constantine VII (Byzantine emperor and writer) a Turkish because he was born in Constantinople, which became later Istanbul, Turkey..
 * In addition, it's a fact that Israelis have never been legally allowed to lebanon till this day, while she lived and studied there! Unfortunately, this cannot be clearly referenced Stop Israeli Lies (talk) 22:13, 5 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I agree that Israeli is not a good label. My concern is whether Palestinian reflects her adult nationality. She emigrated to Lebanon at 14. Would she be best described as a Palestinian citizen? Lebanese? Persian/Iranian? British? (The last is least likely, but Britain did control the Palestinian Mandate.) —C.Fred (talk) 22:34, 5 July 2021 (UTC)


 * And that's also why I asked for a source that explicitly states nationality, instead of drawing inferences from date of birth and emigration. The article currently cited in the intro paragraph does not state nationality. —C.Fred (talk) 22:39, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
