Talk:Rahat Fateh Ali Khan

message: This material has been taken verbatim from http://www.answers.com/topic/rahat-fateh-ali-khan.
I'm not sure if it's originally from somewhere else.
Is it kosher to lift entire chunks like this from somewhere else and stick them on wikipedia? --Sarabseth 20:27, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Well, obviously, someone without a decent ability to spell spent a lot of time putting together what they could here, so the man is quite inspiring to people, because I don't believe one person with this much effort represents only one person. Not to this degree. What is the closest Wikiproject? Perhaps if someone takes the time to check, one of the other wikis actually has a page that's better (a broad jump in hope, but who knows)? I've been trying to cope with worse on Keisuke Kuwata's page and trust me, translating Japanese is a lot harder!! (Or Arabic!) I'm also one of the primary editors on Derek Trucks's emerging page (and that of The Derek Trucks Band), which is mentioned in the article. Give it a try. Maybe the Islamic Wikiproject here would help-- it's a stretch, but we do cover Sufism, and every branch relating to Islam. --leahtwosaints (talk) 07:37, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should this page exist? 

message: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has not added his uncle's name to his own. I listened to him last night and he was introduced as "Rahat Fateh Ali Khan" only. Please revert back to the page which originally had that name. He was associated with his uncle but that does not mean he took his name Rzafar (talk) 08:33, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This article has never been moved as far as I can tell, so it would not be a "revert". Please can you supply a reliable source for the name of this person and I will be happy to move it for you. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:21, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Regardless of how he was introduced at a concert, his albums say Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.  See, for example, the picture at this site.  --Sarabseth (talk) 13:25, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Just because it is on one album it does not mean that is his correct name. Here is a recent article (2011) from Express Tribune which gives his name simply as Rahat Fateh Ali Khan - Rahat Fateh Ali rules Bollywood. Here is a track listing for a Bollywood album (on amazon): Love aaj kal another cd track listing: Soulful Sufi and here is the album cover of his compilation of Rahat The very best of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan released in July 2010!!

message: This news item seems considerably out of place. I found it inappropriate and imbalanced considering the present lack of information on the page of an artist with such extraordinary heritage.

replies: text: that was my reaction too, but someone pointed out that the detention merited the reaction and involvement of very high government officials  and thus is of some international significance. I have however, attempted to condense to a more reasonable length and demote from a full stand alone section. -- The Red Pen of Doom 02:35, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

text: I agree on demoting it from it's own section with a bold header. Satya Chai Baba  01:05, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: If you still have concerns, we could start a formal request for comment from the broader wikipedia community. -- The Red Pen of Doom 02:38, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: And you could also help address the proportion issue by supplying more sourced content about other parts of his life and impact. -- The Red Pen of Doom 02:41, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

text: Agreed, Though unfortunately I don't really have anything much to add here... Satya Chai Baba  01:05, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I would like to add my voice here. The incident in question, being international and garnering so much press at the time, probably should be mentioned, but it looks out of place and proportion being under it's own heading. I agree with Red Pen, that the article needs more content on his life to balance it. If there are no objections here I will move the section into one of the existing sections and also look for more citations on other aspects of his life.

message: Hi! Well, there are not many reliable sources, I have found some on facebook to prove his birth date is 9 December:
*9 December 2014
** RFAKWorld (official facebook page)
**Tips Music: 
*9 December 2015
**Dharma Productions: 
**Saavn: 
**Sara Raza Khan: 
*9 December 2016
**T-Series: 
**Times Music: 
**Gaana.com: 
I remember I added a source, that says his birth year is 1974, but now I think the source is not reliable and should be replaced with this by Coke Studio (Pakistan).
There might still be confusion if year is 1973 or 1974. But I am correcting his birth date on support of this message. If anyone has objection, then please comment. Thanks! M. Billoo 03:05, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: , I found this source in which Rahat claims that he was 9 years old in 1979 mean that he was born in 1970. It can't be false as the subject is claiming himself. I've changed the year of birth from 1974 to 1970. Just wanted to let you know. Thank you. Empire AS  Talk! 14:41, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
