The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. -- Zak 14:32, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: April 15, 2007

[edit] Copyvio

The second half of the article is copy-pasted from PUKTOONKHWA HOME PAGE Tintin 01:51, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Failing GA

I am removing this from the list of GA candidates for the following reasons:

• It's not NPOV. Portions of the text read like a puff piece; the language is overly sympathetic and could use significant copyediting by a neutral observer. Maybe send to Peer Review?
• It's not well enough sourced. Some quotations are given without a reference. The list of works at the end should be augmented with more inline citations.

[edit] criticism

I have made changes to criticism as sourced through footnote number 9. Footnote No.9 is not criticising Ghaffar Khan for his "liberalism" but rather his inconsistency and flirtations with religious leaders. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.99.187.31 (talk) 14:10, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Indian?

Can we really consider Ghaffar Khan to be Indian, despite his being Pashtun? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.255.202.121 (talk) 18:25, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
