Talk:Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

message: The article was moved to page named "Pervez Fateh Ali Khan" , I have moved it back to the original title. Pervez was Nusrat's name only for a few years after his birth, and then he was named "Nusrat" by his father which remained forever.
However I have retained the change of "Nusrat" By "Khan" because its more formal. AvnishIT (talk) 07:26, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello User:AvnishIT, I hope you are well. Thanks for all your good work on Wikipedia. With the best of intentions I made this page title change because, as you say, Khan was born with the first name Pervez. Wikipedia bio pages ordinarily carry the real names as the page titles, but not always (Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Sheen, etc). Fair enough. I accept that. Perhaps you might add to the article a reliably cited clarifying statement about the name change you mention above. Just a thought. Regards and best wishes.GorgeCustersSabre (talk) 08:11, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello! The 'birth' name is already placed in the infobox, which is where it belongs and perfectly adequate. Thanks. Snoop God (talk) 09:02, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: You are absolutely wrong. Use of an infobox at all is optional Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(infoboxes)#Using_infoboxes_in_articles, but the full birth name is expected to be in the lead sentence. WP:BIRTHNAME.-- The Red Pen of Doom 14:18, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

message: While it seems clear that NFAK was a key figure in bringing Sufi music to us lot,
it is perhaps not certain that he was the one and only person who did so.
For example Brian Jones helped to bring Moroccan music to the west back in 1971.
Perhaps we should make it clear that we are speaking about Qawwali music specifically?  Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:11, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

message: American media as only mentioned sources in an article about a Pakistani singer seems… odd. Are there no authoritative sources of reasonable prestige in English anywhere in India, Pakistan or Bangladesh? It makes them seem like definitive sources of judgement, and while I respect these publications, as an American observer, I’d be more impressed by what sources closer to the primary / original audience think. tvleavitt (talk) 06:55, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
