Naming convention: How about Riaz? edit

This name of his is not likely to be confused with the former PM, also named Imran Khan. The former PM is directly involved in what Riaz has been calling attention to, and so they will continue to be talked about together. I suggest using Riaz on his Wikipedia article. I have seen The Express Tribune do this, for example: "In the video, Riaz can be heard saying that he was coming to the federal capital to get bail from the Islamabad High Court (IHC)."

There's a comment in the page move that might be reason against this proposal: "The subject, including his social media handles, refers to himself usually without the middle name." Louis Waweru  Talk  03:20, 14 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

  • Comment: WP:COMMONNAME is the standard used for titles, and I can see him named both with and without the "Riaz" in reliable sources. Interestingly, both his Twitter and Facebook profiles are titled "Imran Khan", with the full name below, like this article. But not on his YouTube channel. So it's not clear to me yet which title is better. Storchy (talk) 12:16, 1 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Support. It's better to use the individual's name as a natural disambiguator here than the individual's profession as a parenthetical disambiguator. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 22:29, 1 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Biased and lack of neutrality edit

"He was arrested for speaking out the truth of corruption of Pakistan" this style of writing comes off as biased and not very neutral worthy making allegations. 24.13.28.25 (talk) 02:40, 22 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

False Claim regarding death and death date edit

This is propaganda page falsely claiming death of journalist 119.152.152.66 (talk) 09:42, 29 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Infobox Birthdate edit

Why does it say on his info box state that his date of birth is 14 August 1967 but on the first sentence of the page it says he is born on 14 August 1975 in Faisalabad. Is he born in 1975 or 1967? 24.13.28.25 (talk) 04:23, 31 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
