Peacock article with few reliable refs

This article, seems to be full of peacock words/phrases, and is of a highly slanted/biased nature. It seems to be written entirely from a fan's perspective, or even possibly, by the subject or someone close to the subject, with the aim of self promotion rather than providing objective information. In addition it doesnt cite any really reliable references/citations in most instances, and doesnt use a proper inline citation style. In both these respects, this article is quite similar to one on Athar Minallah who seems to be a relative of this subject-- possibly an exercise to promote themselves and/or their families within typical Pakistani contexts. I hope that this article will be please rewritten sensibly and objectively, in a balanced, neutral way, with adequate references and citations, properly; as it does in fact deal with a person who is doing some good work at her level, for Pakistani women. Since I also belong to the same area as the purported subject, I would like to see such an article furthering the causes espoused here in a rational and mature manner, and not made victim to personal egotism and self-promotion. Thank you 39.54.207.44 (talk) 02:32, 14 June 2014 (UTC) Col Retd Mumtaz Khan, Hazara, NWFP, Pakistan[reply]

Samar Minallah is not from Mashwani Tribe

Samar Minallah is from Sirikot but she is not belonging from Mashwani tribe. I am going to remove the concerning sentense, no source of the world can prove that she belongs from Mashwani tribe. Please dont make unknown changes. Regards--Syed Saqib Imad 11:58, 27 July 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Innocentbadshah (talk • contribs)
