message: I have watched many interviews and documentaries of Pervez Hoodbhoy. He is one of the rare intellectuals in Pakistan. There is a grace in his manners and speech. I don't know much about his professional achievements but he is vocal in describing the problems of Pakistan. He speaks truth when he says country needs to invest more in basic infrastucture like basic education, electricity, roads, etc rather than building army and weapons. Kudos to Hoodbhoy. Good bless you - SID  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.148.60.3 (talk) 18:23, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Commentary

message: The article of Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy needs the protection. Apparently, some of the contributors who hates or firmly dislikes him, adding personal comments based on the prejudice and personal hatred. So, I am asking nicely to those contributors who are responsible for such damages, please, stop! If the contributors do not like him then stop reading his page. But, please, stop adding the comments which simply based on personal judegment, hatred or the prejudice.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.0.106.166 (talk) 09:48, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Protection 

message: The introduction to the article mentions that Pervez Hoodbhoy is a recipient of the Baker Prize for 1968.  However, the list of recipients on the Wikipedia page of the prize (and even the official list available here) do not mention him as a recipient.  In particular, the recipients for 1968 are Jonny Anderson and Harry Lee. Piyush (talk) 08:34, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recipient of [[Baker Prize]]? 

message: The page has unsubstantiated claims for awards without appropriate references.
There is no reference provided on the page for this person awarded the Baker prize. It needs to be removed.
Similarly, there is no credible or appropriate reference for the Meyer award. The only reference is from his own website, the not well-known organization of his former father in law (uncle of his first wife) which he is himself a patron or creator of. 
I suggest both these awards be removed or reliable third-party references provided.

thread_title:  Unsubstantiated Claims for Awards 

message: I would like to draw attention to the claim
"As the head of Mashal Books in Lahore, he leads a major translation effort to produce books in Urdu that promote modern thought, human rights, and emancipation of women.[15]"
This is an important claim and the only reference provided is from his own interview by a not well-known magazine. As far as I am aware he is a physicist and a university professor, a controversial figure with political aspirations etc as you would find on the web, however I do not know of any incident or public demonstration of his actually being a part of concrete efforts for human rights or emancipation of women. There is no single such instance, nor any reference is provided. It may as well be a claim to support his book store what he heads, as I learnt from this claim.
Unless a reliable third-party reference is provided from credible sources of his helping women emancipate from whatever ordeal they were in, as it is claimed, the claim needs to be removed.
The page seems like an advertisement. It is against the Wikipedia norms for a living person biography.
