N?

What's the "N" stand for? Why is it important? —Micahbrwn (talk) 06:54, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It stands for the leader of the party, whose name starts with N.i. e Nawaz Sharif. --SMS ^Talk 13:39, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PML-F

Why does it state that the PML-F is "the only other known political party besides these two with the PML name"? The link to the Muslim League's general wikipedia entry, no denoting letter, states a couple of others, including the PML-J, among others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Homoaffectional (talk • contribs) 17:55, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

June, 2008 elections

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) on June 27, 2008, won 3 and 2 five by-election seats, respectively, to the national parliament. Polls were postponed for the 6th seat in Lahore due to Nawaz Sharif's eligibility contest. A court ruled he was ineligible due to the old conviction, amid the government appeal in the Supreme Court, which will hear the case on June 30, thus postponing the vote in the constituency.news.bbc.co.uk, Ruling parties win Pakistan polls The 2 parties also won 19 of 23 provincial assembly seats where by-elections were held. The results will not affect the February 18 general election results in which Benazir Bhutto's PPP won 123 seats in the 342-seat National Assembly and Sharif's party came second with 91, while Pervez Musharraf's party came a poor third with 54 seats. Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) won 8 provincial assembly seats, while the PPP won 7 provincial seats.reuters.com, Sharif's party does well in Pakistani by-elections xinhuanet, Pakistan ruling coalition sweeps by-elections--Florentino floro (talk) 09:15, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious

Islamic Conservatism

Link is original research, from a partisan source. reliable sources must be cited. These sources should be directly related to the topic of the article. They should also directly support the information as it is presented. The mentioned link to the claim links back to an opinion piece... analysis and opinion pieces, whether written by the editors of the publication (editorials) or outside authors (op-eds) are reliable primary sources for statements attributed to that editor or author, but are rarely reliable for statements of fact. See: Identifying reliable sources. "No original research" is core content policy of wiki. SuperKaran (talk) 20:30, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How it is OR? Any source for your point? Fai zan 07:26, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am new to wiki maybe you can help me, but to my understanding, opinion pieces are generally not accepted on Wikipedia. It linked back to a blog piece. I also checked PMLN's manifesto and they do not describe themselves as "Islamic" if anything PMLN's manifesto is secular, has anyone actually read it? or do they just assume since the party calls itself "Muslim" therefore it is "Islamic"? there is a huge difference.

POV

@SheriffIsInTown, the history section includes bias wording such as “The Pakistan Muslim League (N) struck its remarkable, biggest, and most notable achievement in the 1997 parliamentary elections”. More importantly, the 1990 and 1996 elections were dubbed by Dawn and opposition parties as highly rigged and fraudulent in favor of PML-N see here. The section included bias and lacks rigging claims entirely, despite the elections being alleged for rigging. Titan2456 (talk) 19:49, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of uncited information

There is a lot of uncited information throughout the article, I think it should be removed in line with how all uncited information was removed from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf article, and it can be restored once citations are added. Titan2456 (talk) 17:48, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That behaviour aligns with the characteristics of WP:POINTY and WP:BATTLEGROUND. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 18:00, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, what point would I even be trying to prove by removing uncited information, which would improve the article’s reliability. For political parties, there needs to be strong, watertight citations, we can begin by removing uncited claims on the top few political parties and then re-adding them when citations are found, previous successful examples can be found. Titan2456 (talk) 18:41, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also waiting for this… Titan2456 (talk) 15:15, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Read up WP:POINTY and WP:BATTLEGROUND. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 15:23, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. My above comment already explains how this is not part of battleground or pointy. Regards —— Titan2456 (talk) 16:03, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, you did not read it or if you read it, you decided not to hear it. WP:POINTY, If you think someone unfairly removed “unsourced” content… do find a source for it, make the referencing clear if it was already present, or explain why the content in question shouldn’t require a cited source. do not summarily remove from the page everything which appears to be unsourced., if we broadly apply that here, you are implying that since the unsourced content was removed from the PTI page, all unsourced content should be removed from this page as well, which falls under the scope of WP:POINTY. To avoid this implication, the correct approach would be to let others address this matter or, if necessary, improve the article by sourcing the content or tagging it with “citation needed” so that someone else can handle it in the future. However, removal of the content by you would constitute pointy behavior. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 17:10, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
