Akbar Khan (Blind) → ? – Not sure where this should be moved to, but "(Blind)" is not a disambiguator we normally use. Maybe use (award winner)? Natg 19 (talk) 22:25, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Akbar Khan (disability activist) as Deborah Kaplan (disability activist). In ictu oculi (talk) 03:57, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Suggest Akbar Khan (born 1962) -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 05:32, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Move to (disability activist) per In ictu oculi. O N R (talk) 03:10, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Move to (disability activist) per In ictu oculi, it's an already well established disambiguator (and also a category). Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 09:38, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article does not actually explain the subject's significance[edit]

Normally a biography has a section headed "Career" or similar that details what the person actually did to become notable. This article has nothing like that. All it has is "Early life" and "Awards". We are not told at all what this person did to win the awards. The nature of the awards are also unexplained. In fact we don't even know what he did for a living! Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 10:16, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing[edit]

The tags are there because the article lacks sufficient reliable coverage in secondary sources independant of the subject, per WP:BLP and WP:GNG. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:D864:93D8:B1E:4EE2 (talk) 22:08, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
