Please note that in the lead sentence, we use the nationality held by the subject at the time they became notable. Fazlur Khan moved to the US for his education, stayed, and became an American citizen before he became notable, therefore we identify him as American. Place of birth is clearly visible in the infobox and should of course be detailed in the early life section. If you believe this is incorrect, please provide sources that show that he became notable before he became an American citizen. It does appear to be close, but the buildings for which he is most famous were completed after his naturalization. If you can provide such sources, I will happily change the nationality to East Pakistani. Khan could never have been a Bangladeshi citizen as that country did not exist at the time Khan became an American citizen.

We have to draw the line somewhere, people have also want to change the nationality, for example, of Charlize Theron, who became notable as a South African citizen before becoming a naturalized American citizen. We identify her as South African, not American, because that was the country she was a citizen of when she became notable. Yworo (talk) 15:09, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
