Trivia
I removed the sentence: "Kabir Khan, played by Shahrukh Khan, is referred as Muhammad bin Tughlaq, by a female hockey player in Chak De India, a Bollywood film released in 2007." as it is trivia unrelated to the topic of the article. Trivia must be related to the topic of the article, not just incidental. --Bejnar (talk) 17:55, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

WP:INDIA Banner/Delhi Addition
Note: WP India Project Banner with Delhi workgroup parameters was added to this article talk page because the article falls under Category:Delhi or its subcategories. Should you feel this addition is inappropriate, please undo my changes and update/remove the relavent categories to the article -- Amartyabag   TALK2ME  15:51, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Expedition of China
I don't see any note about his expedition to China, where he served heavy losses in the mountain ranges of Himalaya...somewhere in KuluBmayuresh (talk) 04:37, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Relationship to Firuz Shah Tughluq
Firuz Shah Tughluq was the son of Sipahsalar Rajab, who was the younger brother of Ghazi Malik (Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq). Ghazi Malik was father of Muhammad bin Tughluq. Thus they were cousins, even though Muhammad bin Tughluq was considerable older. --Bejnar (talk) 14:56, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Moved capital to "Devgiri"
The section which claims he moved the capital from Delhi to "Devgiri" (and killed thousands of people on the way) needs a citation. Unless it is a typo, and actually is "Deogir", in the preface. By the way, is the leather coins rumor true, and people began making their own coins at home? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schvass (talk • contribs) 15:13, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Abdul Asif Shaik
I removed the following from the lead:
 * Muhammad Bin Tughlaq was also named as Abdul Asif Shaik. After the death of his father, Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq (who was the founder of the Tughlaq Dynasty), he ascended the throne by the name of Muhammad Bin Tughlaq.

because the name "Abdul Asif Shaik" was unsubstantiated, and the rest was duplicative. Please do not restore the name "Abdul Asif Shaik" without a citation to a reliable source. Thanks. --Bejnar (talk) 10:27, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

24.4.227.174 edits
While Eaton would be considered a reliable source, please cite him properly (as it's from an article in Frontline). He is also talking about an event in 1323 whereas the section is about events that occurred after Tughlaq's ascension to the throne in 1325; i.e., it doesn't fit. The other sources cited are not reliable.--Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 13:59, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Expedition to China and Tughlugh Timur
Is there any connection between the Tughluqs or Dughlats in Kashgar and the Tughluqs in Delhi? This clan is dominating Moghulistan, the ulus Chagatai khanate from 14th to the 16th century. First they were fostering Timur leng under Tughlugh Timur, afterwards they were fighting against him. Timur is also fighting against the Tughluq dynasty in Delhi. If there is a connection, Muhammad bin Tughluq's expedition through the Himalaya wouldn't seem so absurd. Mirza Abu Bakr Dughlat and Mirza Muhammad Haidar Dughlat were crossing the Pamir passes later into India. --36.97.187.211 (talk) 18:19, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Extremely big army
Under 1.3 Early Life > Failed Expeditions there is the sentence Tughluq raised an army of possibly up to three million and seven hundred thousand soldiers in 1329. That number seems several magnitudes out of order. It is also common for that time to exaggerate these kinds of numbers to make a point. Please have a look at this. At least change the sentence to something like Tughluq raised an army of allegedly three million and seven hundred thousand soldiers in 1329. to make clear that there is a difference between what is possible and what is reported. 2003:CA:A74D:7D67:1C7B:BB56:5D98:47BA (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 12:25, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
