Problem with lead

Why is the term "Niazi" (the subject of this article) not mentioned in the lead at all? Badagnani (talk) 02:29, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Language(s)

Removing the language(s) the Niazi speak doesn't seem to be a good idea. Badagnani (talk) 05:50, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notable Members

JohnCengiz77 (talk · contribs) removed a large chunk of content from the Notable People section in this article. I undid his revision as there are several Generals, Federal Ministers, and Senators listed that he removed. JohnCengiz77 then reverted my edit stating that "Niazi's with an article are listed, otherwise they aren't notable." This simply isn't how WP works. Not having an article doesn't imply that a subject is not notable just like having an article doesn't imply notability. I believe this to be the basic concept of WP:OTHERSTUFF. John, do you have any counter argument? OlYeller^Talktome 15:41, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The edits made by 86.23.59.8 (talk · contribs) are very poorly written, unwikified, and mostly lack notability. Every now and again, a user will make these unhelpful edits, also tribal boasting too. If someone has no coverage on any wikipedia article, they are not going to be included in a list of people sharing a name on wikipedia. John Cengiz talk 16:24, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen lots of tribal boasting but there seem to be some subjects in this list with a claim of notability (federal Ministers, senators, and possibly Generals depending on their military structure). I'm not saying that the whole list is full of notable people but at least a portion of them need examined. As for not having coverage on WP, again, that doesn't mean anything. Per WP:NOTESAL, not everyone in lists of notable people have to have an article. I'd give List of Ohio State University people as an example but I'm not sure that listing other pages really means anything per WP:OTHERSTUFF. While the edits may not be formatted to your liking (I agree, they're not pretty), that doesn't mean they should be deleted. This project isn't finished and poorly formatted information shouldn't be removed for that reason alone.

Here's my proposal, because I'm not willing to go through the list one by one to determine notability, because I don't think it's fair to require you to, and to discourage anons from boasting, how about we move the list to the talk page for someone to go over in the future. OlYeller^Talktome 16:59, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. John Cengiz talk 17:07, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Removed content and title of contestation as user: John Cengiz talk couldn't be bothered to actually understand that you dont need to be on Wikipedia to be a notable person.

The people on that list described as non notables are actually Googalable, for example;

Gul Hameed Khan Rohr: i is a Former Minister for Finance and Land and is currently a Member of Parliament for Pakistan: ^[1]

Colonel Retired Abdul Rab Khan Niazi (SJ) has a military unit named after him: ^[2] The (late) Aamir Hayat Khan Niazi was a member of parliament and president of the Pakistan Squash Federation : ^[3]

Lt. General Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi has 1 books written to his name a quick wikipedia search would have solved your query: ^[4] Isa Khan Niazi (Afghan Amir) : Is part of the history of the sub continent, do you even google bro?

Remove Saifora Niazi from the list. She is an ethnic Tajik (https://afghan-bios.info/index.php?option=com_afghanbios&id=1246&task=view&total=3600&start=2331&Itemid=2). 192.76.8.91 (talk) 17:42, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. From what I can tell, the list is for people with the surname Niazi, not limited to certain ethnicities. RudolfRed (talk) 21:15, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Remove non-native languages

Our native language is Pashto. It does not make sense to include languages other than this just because some may speak it. Following that logic we may as well include Dari, English, German, Russian, etc. since there those that speak these.

I also remember the page only having Pashto listed before, which was correct until all these other languages were included. 2607:FEA8:A5B:8700:2598:2D23:2094:3048 (talk) 21:13, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Petty politics, nothing else. I myself have tried to sort out this issue before but my edits always got defaced by Punjabi nationalists. They don't know anything about Niazi tribe and even claim that they are Punjabi at times. I had to give up eventually because no matter what I did, they just rolled it back or edited it.

Request for Semi-Protection

The page is routinely getting vandalised and was even marked as an article that "needs citations" and there are credible sources in the reference section already. I used to edit it before (even requested the mods to change its status to a semi-protected page and they did) but I've stopped editing it now due to constant vandalism by exclusively 2-3 users. It would be great if they can be investigated for sockpuppetry too. I am afraid that it will go back to being a playground for trolls like it used to be before.
