Deleting/Merging many Pakistani diplomats pages

Dear Sirs, wouldnt it perhaps be better to rationalize the list of 'Pakistani diplomats' which list many small stubs, with nothing much to say, by reducing many of these, possibly deleting and or merging with other articles/categories? I feel this small note could be added to the Swat royal family, or Swat State page? It would perhaps be more suitable there, since subject is a scion of that family I believe.

More sources needed

As the only cited source is a bare URL for a site which is not available except to subscribers, this BLP article is hardly sourced in any meaningful way. Please provide more references. PamD 14:45, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Did it myself - he's listed on the High Commission website, though with different spelling. PamD 14:56, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Subject name is currently misunderstood by previous editor

The name Mian Gul Akbar Zaib is misunderstood by an editor of this article as in Pakhtun culture as in several others but not in others the family name comes first. The family name is Mian Gul or Miangul and means princely flower. Many members of the family have personal names ending in a word which can be transliterated as Zeb or Zaib. I am not sure what the etymology is of the similar Arabic word. However I am aware that in many cultures the euphemism for penis literally means decoration.
