Talk:Shahid Afridi

Semi-protected edit request on 27 November 2019
In the Philanthropy section Shahid Afridi Foundation is mentioned but it is not linked to the website https://shahidafridifoundation.org/ the link should be added.

 * Not done, we don't link to external links in body text. The foundation is already linked at the bottom of the article. – Thjarkur (talk) 14:47, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Teams and season
We're about to run out of team slots for Afridi - the infobox only allows teams up to 18.

I propose that we remove any T20 only teams that he has played for for only a single season - except the most recent team. Then we add a note to explain why and, if required, create something in the article - and this may be the place for a table or list - to summarise the T20 teams he's played for.

 * This would need a reliable source, and even if true, it would run into problems with WP:BLPNAME, as family members are not usually named unless they are notable in their own right.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 09:46, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Full names in Urdu and Pashto
I think that his full name should be written in Urdu and Pashto, instead of just Shahid Afridi. So there will be (صاحبزادہ محمد شاہد خان آفریدی) instead of just (شاہد آفریدی) Eigengrau24 (talk) 15:57, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Date of birth
In the article, Afridi's birthdate is written 1975, whereas in the info box thing, it is written 1980. These dates need to be the same, and in my opinion, we should go by what Afridi said in his autobiography, which is 1975. Eigengrau24 (talk) 16:06, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

I think he is age 41 Hadhi1010 (talk) 19:15, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

Multan Sultans captaincy
Afridi was never appointed captain of Multan Sultans. It is incorrectly stated in the Pakistan Super League section that he was "retained as captain for Multan Sultans for the 2020 season". This should be corrected. Eigengrau24 (talk) 16:16, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Stint at Northamptonshire in 2015
Shahid Afridi played for Northamptonshire in 2015. This is missing from his domestic team information. References as follows: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/30983675 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/33119888 2A00:23C5:6802:8D00:2D4B:45CB:D788:8ADE (talk) 14:44, 9 April 2020 (UTC)


 * That's probably because there aren't enough slots available in the infobox. The "Teams and Seasons" section of the talk page, above, deals with this point. I'll take a look at the list in the article later and add a note as well as doing a bit more tidying up. Blue Square Thing (talk) 16:01, 9 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Dealt with it by simply removing any team he only played one season for. Was considering keeping in the FC ones but opted not to for simplicity in the end. Blue Square Thing (talk) 19:00, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

His age
Whatever he said in his autobiography, it doesn't make much sense | as per this cricinfo article. If enough sources contest the source used in the page, it should be overriden. A good example of this is the article on Marcus Stoinis. Refer to its edit history, evaluate the sources on Afridi's age and then make a decision.

 * Pictogram voting comment.svg Note: One of the sources in the article says 1975, but the profile from the same outlet  says 1980. 1980 does seem to be more widely reported, but 1975 seems to be newer information. I'm not really sure what to believe here... — LauritzT (talk) 13:56, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting comment.svg Note: I checked the sources under "Early and personal life", near the current statement about the 1980 date, noted that neither source actually backed that date and tried changing it, then realized that the claim was added after the sources were already there, so I reverted myself. If there are sources about the previously-reported date, they should be referenced there to help prevent somebody else from making my mistake as well. ASUKITE  14:12, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

In the main page, the birth date is 1980, but in the information box, it's 1977.

1977 is the right call.

1980 was the old mistaken date, 1977 is the one confirmed by himself and others, as shown in that Dawn News source found in the information box :

"“It is definitely a miscalculation by the publisher ... Shahid played his first One-day International at the age of 19,” the source said. “He was born in 1977.”"

https://www.dawn.com/news/1480141

(Dawn News is also the most trusted English language publication of the country)

So it would be great if the information in the main page follows the information box (so 1977 instead of 1980), the 2 sources are already included in the information box.

Thanks.

Semi-protected edit request on 23 February 2023 (additional info in early and personal life cat)
Greetings, there's info I want to add in the early/personal life category.

It's based on a reputable source (one of the largest Pakistani newspaper), itself basically quoting from Afridi's autobiography (Game Changer).

It's a whole paragraph that should be situated between "for his efforts during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1947–1948" and "He is married to".

It would go like that :

"[...] for his efforts during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1947–1948.

He has six brothers, including fellow cricketers Tariq Afridi and Ashfaq Afridi, and five sisters, in terms of birth rank Shahid Afridi being at number five, and credits his uncle, a colonel in the Pakistan Army, for introducing him to sports in general and to cricket in particular.

He is married to [...]"

Thanks

Semi-protected edit request on 26 May 2023 (slight change in height as per source)
Greetings, not a dramatic change, but currently his height is shown as 6 ft but in the source quoted it's written 5 f 11, so I guess we could replace this :


 * height            = 6 ft

By this :


 * height            = 5 ft 11 in

Thanks.
