@WikiEnthusiast1001Not an official portrait nor does Khan reside in the White House, Really? Seriously? Was he visiting the White House in a personal capacity? He was on an official visit, and he is posing—I don’t see an involuntary photo capture there. That makes it an official portrait. And who cares whether he lived in the White House or if it’s an office photo? It’s from his time in office. The idea was to use an official portrait in the infobox, just like Jimmy Carter, and use the June 2023 photo to show how he looked before his final arrest. But oh well!

Its not an official portrait, this is misleading. It's cropped from a meeting with Trump and I don't see how he looks younger or better. By your logic, we might as well use photos from 2012 when he looked even younger. Also, please focus on improving the COVID section, as CMD noted it reads more like a newspaper article than an encyclopedic entry. WikiEnthusiast1001 (talk) 22:00, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@WikiEnthusiast1001 CMD noted that the section in the main article, which was mostly contributed by you here and copied over to that article, had issues. If content contributed by you in the past had issues, new content you add might have similar problems. Please do not expand the section further, as the article is already overly lengthy, and expanding it would not be helpful. Even if the image is not an official portrait, it is preferable to use one from his time in office, as evident from other GA articles on heads of state. This is the best one I could find from that period. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 01:29, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Blind application and misinterpretation of NPOVN discussion
@WikiEnthusiast1001 The discussion at the NPOVN forum does not give you a pass to blindly remove or reduce criticism. Firstly, the discussion there pertains to the content in the main article, where the content in question was much more extensive than what is present in this article. I have already significantly reduced the criticism in the main article, and it was already minimal in this article. Nowhere in that discussion did the uninvolved editors state that criticism could simply be removed or reduced; their statements were qualified and context-dependent. That being said, I do not agree with your recent reduction of criticism further. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 17:09, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding your edit summary, I did not use an opinion piece. Can you point out where it states that it's an opinion piece? I'm also directly following CMD's suggestion from the noticeboard: "The immediate reactions and commentary of journalists, other politicians, military figures, etc. should not receive much space, and the wikitext should not offer commentary either." WikiEnthusiast1001 (talk) 23:37, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That is an opinion piece by an unknown author from New York, written in the style of an opinion piece. As for CMD's comment, they said, "should not receive much space," which does not equate to "not receive any space." That space had already been reduced by me. Additionally, their comments do not apply to the content in this article. The content under discussion was entirely different from what is included here.

This applies to the section dealing with the nature of Imran's connection to the military. If sources use wording such as "widespread rumours", "was widely perceived", "was widely regarded", "it is widely believed", don't use them in this BLP. Use reliable sources which make direct statements. Burrobert (talk) 11:08, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
