Nationality
editMB, in your edit summary you state, rmv redundant per WP:INFONAT. Nationality can be inferred from county of birth. British India to Dominion of India is not a nationality change as if someone moved to a different county and became a citizen there. This is not critical info for the infobox.
However, his nationality is notable to the infobox since he was born in Peshawar, which is in present-day Pakistan, not present-day India. KyloRen3 (talk) 06:32, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
- KyloRen3, It seems you are expecting readers to know Peshawar is in present-day Pakistan (which you can't tell by just looking at this infobox) and then need to be told they are not Pakistani. I would advocate adding
|nationality=Pakistani
in an an infobox where someone was born in an area of British India that became Pakistan (and was a citizen there). In a case where someone was born in an area of British India that became India (and was a citizen there), then nationality should not be mentioned because it just bloats the infobox. This case is neither of those - and any discussion of this is missing from the article. The article says he was born in Peshawar, and schooled in a boarding school in Maharashtra. So how did he become Indian? I guess he just stayed there after finishing school. MB 01:33, 9 July 2021 (UTC)- MB, that would just be inaccurate. He was an Indian citizen who was born in a part of British India which became Pakistan, read this obituary for reference. Partition allowed people to choose which country they wanted to be a citizen of, his family decided to stay in India and that was enough to make him a citizen. There are many other people like him, including one former Prime Minister. The infobox should probably specify his nationality as Indian due to his birthpace being outside present day India.

- Agreed with Tayi. KyloRen3 (talk) 04:09, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Filmography
editThe article lacks a comprehensive filmography of Dilip Kumar films. At the occasion of his passing, this lack of filmography should be tackled at least with his notable films. werldwayd (talk) 03:18, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
- There is a separate article for the same, Dilip Kumar filmography, which has been mentioned using {{further}} in Dilip Kumar § Career. Kylo Ren III (talk ☎️) 05:18, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Dear I want to register an Edit Request in this Article, as there is a lot of misinformation about Dilip Kumar e.g. his belongingness and the cast he belongs to. Even his and his father's original names are entered wrong.

Image
editThe former infobox image was deleted because it lacked of permission. I think that this image can be used for the lead. 83.53.73.141 (talk) 18:29, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
