The rationale behind the request is: "Muhammad Ali Jinnah was important as convincing the british to divide India for the Muslim, although he had always believed that Hindu-Muslim unity was possible, Jinnah reluctantly came to the view that partition was necessary to safeguard the rights of Indian Muslims. His insistence on this issue through negotiations with the British government resulted in the partition of India and the formation of the state of Pakistan on 14 August 1947.".
Shouldn't the Urdu name be removed considering the article literally says Jinnah didn't speak Urdu? He is mentioned in many Urdu sources but that's not a reason to add the Urdu name. ― Ö S M A N (talk · contribs)10:44, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EmperorÖsmanIXXVMD: I believe it is guided by the policies relevant / taken at WT:PAK, and not the subject's personal choices. Since Urdu is the national language and lingua-franca of Pakistan, it should stay or that's probably the reason why it is there. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:47, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As I highlighted earlier, Asyro2k24 seems to be part of the Indian pov-pushing group. They just copied my statements and still have not provided a single source for Jinnah being "Lohana of Thakkar Hindu". None of the four sources provided (Hindustan Times, Dawn, Britannica and the NY Times) mention "Jinnah having a Hindu Lohana of Thakkar background". As for Khoja, it is already mentioned in the line Jinnah was a Khoja of Nizari Isma'ili Shia Muslim background from Gujarat, though he later followed the Twelver Shi'a... Since not a single WP:RS is provided for Jinnah's Lohana Thakkar background, I would have to remove it once again and if Asyro2k24 continues disruption, I may have to report them.

Once again @Al Shaykh Al Kasuri should go and check properly that it's clearly written things which speaks about Jinnah's ancestral patrilineality not of his current state or religion. In this entire article there is not a single mention which particularly says "Jinnah being Lohana of Thakkar" but where is he finding that he only knows. Just like in other pages like Jinnahbhai Poonja his father's page where it's clearly mentioned about his lohana caste linearity same it should also be mentioned in Muhammad Ali Jinnah page too otherwise how will people know what is Khoja or lohana and how is he related to his father. And sources from Britannica & DAWN are well reliable sources across global and particularly in this article there's a lot of mention of these websites in other paragraphs. If this continuous removing goes on then it will surely took a face of edit war which should not be allowed and need to be settled. Asyro2k24 (talk) 16:07, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
