[edit] Press Release
I removed this line because the press release adds no understanding as to the man's life or accomplishments. I really do not care whether he was a patriot or not, but I do know that a U.S. press release issued in the middle of a conflict in which he was an American ally is going to be supportive of him. I do not think the line makes the article POV, just that it fails to contribute any relevant information on the topic. Indrian 07:19, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think it's clear that he *was* an American ally without the line. zafiroblue05 | Talk 18:13, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] CSD Nomination
This article was nominated for speedy deletion but didn't meet the criteria. This seems notable enough for mine unless someone provides info on previous article. Capitalistroadster 12:23, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Haji is an honorary title
Haji is an honorary title, and it is contrary to convention to include it in the title of the article.
I tried to link to Abdul Qadir, which is an article about a Pakistani cricket player. It didn't have a disambiguation link, so I created a stub under another name. At a bare minimum there should be a disambiguation link on Abdul Qadir to this article. Maybe this article should be renamed to conform to the convention that honorary titles aren't part of an article's title. -- Geo Swan 11:10, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
- The article title was merely straight from WP:MEA. I'll change it now. :) zafiroblue05 | Talk 14:25, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
- My mistake. I should have waited until the name of the stub I created had been deleted. So I reverted the redirect
- Cutting and pasting is not the recommended way to move an article, because it loses the article's edit history.
- I'll try to get that stub deleted. That was just a suggestion for the new title. Something like [[Abdul Qadir (politician)]] would be a possibiity. -- Geo Swan 15:27, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
