I'm not sure if it's originally from somewhere else.
Is it kosher to lift entire chunks like this from somewhere else and stick them on wikipedia? --Sarabseth 20:27, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
Does anyone think they improve the article? Should they just be reverted?--Sarabseth (talk) 18:11, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Well, obviously, someone without a decent ability to spell spent a lot of time putting together what they could here, so the man is quite inspiring to people, because I don't believe one person with this much effort represents only one person. Not to this degree. What is the closest Wikiproject? Perhaps if someone takes the time to check, one of the other wikis actually has a page that's better (a broad jump in hope, but who knows)? I've been trying to cope with worse on Keisuke Kuwata's page and trust me, translating Japanese is a lot harder!! (Or Arabic!) I'm also one of the primary editors on Derek Trucks's emerging page (and that of The Derek Trucks Band), which is mentioned in the article. Give it a try. Maybe the Islamic Wikiproject here would help-- it's a stretch, but we do cover Sufism, and every branch relating to Islam. --leahtwosaints (talk) 07:37, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
In Response to a notice requesting help at the top of the article, warning that the article did not cite references as required by the Policy for Biographies of living persons, I added two references. I also hid the Table of Contents, which was not helpful on such a short page.
The article now seems to comply with the policy, particularly as it applies to "Well-known public figures." The subject is a very well-known and highly respected musician in South-Asia, and there is nothing inaccurate, controversial, or innapropriate in the article. I would like to remove the "BLP unsourced" notice, and will discuss this and confirm it's OK on the BLP Noticeboard before doing so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dalesundstrom (talk • contribs) 06:39, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
I hope you agree that the reference section and biography I added is appropriate. I also hope it's sufficient justification to change the tag to Unreferenced, and will prevent the bot from changing it back again.
I don't think a list of songs he has performed in Hindi films can be called a discography.
The "Sucess in Bollywood" section should probably be rewritten as a paragraph rather than a list (see Wikipedia:Trivia sections). --Sarabseth (talk) 15:05, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi - I feel the Hindi film discography was better when it was listed according to year of release. Serial number - fine - but then one needs to correct the table. I am sorry that I could not do this, I am still learning how to edit. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Somaditya babu (talk • contribs) 18:42, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi- I think Song Saari Duniya Rabba Nu from Good-Bye Chimpanzee movie in Bollywood Track Section is not available. This song is fake posted. So please remove this information from article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.196.3.42 (talk) 06:03, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
The article states that Rahat contributed to the soundtrack of Dead Man Walking, but I believe it was his uncle (the late great Nusrat of the same name, his uncle) who was on the soundtrack. I don't know where to find on the internet that it clarifies this. But I have heard both recordings and there is no comparison between uncle and nephew. Rahat and Eddie did team up for a concert called "Dead Man Walking - Not in Our Name" in 1998, 3 years after the movie's release and a year after his uncle's death. Pdirt (talk) 09:13, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
In a subordinate role with his uncle Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, working in collaboration with Eddie Vedder, of the American rock band, Pearl Jam, Rahat contributed to the soundtrack of the 1995 Hollywood film Dead Man Walking.[1]
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has not added his uncle's name to his own. I listened to him last night and he was introduced as "Rahat Fateh Ali Khan" only. Please revert back to the page which originally had that name. He was associated with his uncle but that does not mean he took his name Rzafar (talk) 08:33, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
1) It's not just one album. Every single album I have ever seen has his name as Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
2) The Express Tribune headline says "Rahat Fateh Ali". Does that mean we should also drop the Khan from his name?
3) Rhapsody lists him as "Rahat Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan":
4) This is from his biography at allmusic.com : "Rahat took Nusrat's first name in a traditional gesture of admiration of his master". Allmusic is a respected source. They didn't just make that up out of thin air. I think that quotation trumps your assertion that "Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has not added his uncle's name to his own." Some sources may get sloppy and abbreviate his name to Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, but that doesn't change the fact that he took Nusrat's name, and since then that has been his official stage name. --Sarabseth (talk) 00:44, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

This news item seems considerably out of place. I found it inappropriate and imbalanced considering the present lack of information on the page of an artist with such extraordinary heritage.
Satya.chai.baba (talk) 02:22, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
My 2c: It's a big enough incident that a separate heading doesn't seem disproportionate. If other life events can be added to balance it, so much the better. But I'm uncomfortable playing down an obviously major incident that's embarrassing to him, and that his fans have previously tried to delete. That smacks of bowdlerism and should, I think, be resisted. --Sarabseth (talk) 04:20, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi! Well, there are not many reliable sources, I have found some on facebook to prove his birth date is 9 December:
I remember I added a source, that says his birth year is 1974, but now I think the source is not reliable and should be replaced with this by Coke Studio (Pakistan).
There might still be confusion if year is 1973 or 1974. But I am correcting his birth date on support of this message. If anyone has objection, then please comment. Thanks! M. Billoo 03:05, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
