Autobiography[edit]

The edit log for this page shows that almost all the edits have been made by a very small number of anonymous users who have only edited this page. Most of the facts which have been added, edited and deleted are, while accurate, banal and not really appropriate for an encyclopaedia. I strongly suspect that the editor(s) in question is/are either Mirza himself or someone very closely connected to him: while Wikipedia guidelines do not preclude self-editing of BLPs, I would recommend that he/they read Wikipedia's article on self-created articles ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 18:41, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

While it's clear that Mirza started the article 2-1/2 years ago, he doesn't seem to have edited it since then. The main problem with the article, I think, is that it has been vandalized numerous times, in fact so much that it is now a shadow of what it should be. Yesterday I removed some of the vandalism, but the fact is, other vandals have removed large portions of valuable information. I'm going to replace the Awards section, now.

Sounds like a good idea. It looks as if the editor who was added nuggets such as these has got bored and found something else to do, but the article could definitely do with a Spring-clean. Regards, ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 19:08, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Interviews, etc.[edit]

These are some interview links which can be used for the article or as External Links. (They were deleted from the article because they were in a nonsense section, but the interviews and articles themselves are valuable sources for the article.)
