Talk:Daoud Bokhary

The neutrality of this article is questionable

Here a wealthy man is portrayed like a Saint. The whole article is almost like a piece of election propaganda. It needs to be rewritten in a neutral manner. STSC (talk) 09:32, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Yes clearly you bunch of professional libelists need to include more detail about how one of his granddaughters was allegedly arrested for shoplifting two decades ago. What kind of item did she try to steal? What was she wearing? I bet she talked back to her parents and ate her dessert before her dinner too!

Honestly. Do you have ANY relevant negative detail about Mr. Bokhary? Of course not. Despite the media dogs' best efforts to dig up dirt about the whole family due to the troubles of Amina, no one has the slightest negative thing to say about the man himself. That is no doubt why the article is written in the way that it is. 61.18.170.48 (talk) 13:43, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Amusing how this editor STSC insisted on including information about Amina Bokhary's ethnicity on the Amina Bokhary controversy article when none of the news coverage at all mentions her ethnicity (see Talk:Amina Bokhary controversy, but here he wants to delete any mention of how ethnicity affected Daoud Bokhary's life even when that information is well-sourced. From The Standard: "Throughout his life, during Hong Kong's 150-year spell as a British colony or, since 1997, as a Chinese territory, he has remained one step away from the top of any ladder he successfully climbed, an apparent prejudice against his Muslim Indian nationality preventing him from advancement." 61.18.170.241 (talk) 00:24, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

It was a POV statement from the journalist who interviewed him, therefore, it should be removed. STSC (talk) 03:44, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

There's a dubious statement which is not verifiable: "he gave a large sum of money..." in the Other Activities section. STSC (talk) 03:12, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Renomination for deletion

I would ask the editors who want to keep this article to find further secondary published sources for the person. If it's still lack of sources to prove his notability, renominating the article for deletion will be possible. STSC (talk) 09:05, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

The references mainly comprise irrelevant or inaccessible sources. The article lacks significance for an encyclopaedia entry, and the sources fail to establish notability. Despite the contentious nature of the prior discussion, it might still appropriate to propose the article for deletion again, @Saqib? --Crosji (talk) 04:28, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Crosji, Since this individual is a Pakistani resident of Hong Kong, there might be coverage about him in Chinese source or even Cantonese. I can't help with this. —Saqib (talk I contribs) 10:48, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Why used present tense when the article was based on a source in 2005?

The cleanup-tense tag is there to alert editors to improve the article. Thank you! STSC (talk) 14:43, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
