[edit] Heads of State Section

This section should be split into List of Governors General, List of Prime Ministers, and List of Presidents. ASM 09:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

I disagree
The list is segregated into far too many levels already. Further dividing sections would just clutter up everything. Heads of State is pretty straightforward. If we segregate it any further, then there'd be a list for Nazims, then Taluka counsellors, then local government authorities, then school teachers. How far would one be willing to go? :) Arun Reginald (talk) 13:04, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Foreign Ministers

  • Sir Chaudhry Muhammad Zafarullah Khan Sahib (6 February 1893 - 1 September 1985) was a Pakistani diplomat, Pakistan’s first foreign minister

[edit] Sunnis

Why are non-Sunni personalities being prejudiced against? Most Sunni scientists, diplomats, politicians, military generals are thieves, traitors, dictators, looters, foreign agents, morally/sexually corrupt anyways. Why are they being prominently mentioned here over non-Sunnis? Fayselaslam (talk) 19:15, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan. No scientist!

Anyone who thinks Dr Qadeer is a scientist, please provide credentials. How many scientific papers has he written in reputable journals? No one becomes a scientist just because a lot of paindoos say he is. Read wiki article on him, especially "Interview of Dr.Samar Mubarak-Head of Pakistan Missile Program in WMDs & Missiles" and also Dutch Ex-Prime Minister's interview that they (Dutch) twice wanted to apprehend him but CIA stopped him. He was working with CIA’s knowledge. Why isn’t US making so much fuss over Pakistan’s real nuclear weapons as it is doing on other countries’ nuclear programmes who are no where near making a nuclear weapon? Yes you guessed it, its all with US agreement. Fayselaslam (talk) 19:15, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removed wrongly pointing link from Abid Ali

I have removed the link from Abid Ali (Film/TV Actor), it was wrongly pointing to Syed Abid Ali, and Indian Cricketer. Fayselaslam (talk) 19:15, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Some important guidelines/suggestions

Your suggestions are welcome. Please discuss how we can make this article better.

Wrongly pointing links even when articles exists
Please make sure that links provided point to their respective articles. For instance, I saw an article pointing to I. I. Chundrigar. I know that is the common name he is known by but on Wikipedia we use complete names rendering the same to be Ibrahim Ismail Chundrigar. Make sure that articles do exist for the name you are contributing toward the list. I see all the list of the Qaris. It's hardly likely that they might have their own articles. What do you reckon?

Red link chaos
Please do so that the links to existing articles appear on top and then all the red links should come underneath. If red links exceed a number of six for a sub-section, make sure you add the rest of the red links in the main list page for that particular section. For instance, for Models sub-section, there is a main list article named List of Pakistani models. Arun Reginald (talk) 14:25, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
