To do

 * get permission to publish (emailed Tahir as intermediary)
 * Tahir writes: "Safia's media shy (not a Shah family characteristic) but I think she'd be flattered to have a wikipedia page." EricT (talk) 20:19, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Have written a letter to Safia and Ian at their shop. EricT (talk) 13:45, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed with Jayen466 to only publish if Safia okays it and is willing to provide detail. EricT (talk) 17:16, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Received this email from Tahir Shah: "Thanks for this and greetings from Rio. Safia's media shy, but I'd just go ahead and put the page up on wikipedia if you like. She's frazzled right now with the shop and may not have time to get back to it. Once it's up, I'll tell her about it." Will go with this advice, take a chance and publish the article.
