Mar4d, in your edit summary here I think you're getting things backwards. Yes, we don't have a source saying her father moved out after Partition, but neither do we have one claiming he did before, and as far as I can see we don't have a source explicitly ascribing Pakistani descent. The burden is on those adding adding contentious categories to provide a source. – Uanfala (talk)10:36, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Uanfala. Please refer to the following source, as quoted: Her father was from Multan, in what is now Pakistan, and her mother was born in Fiji. It mentions Multan and Pakistan as her father's place of origin. As such, I don't see the contention in categorising her under Pakistani descent as that is what the source identifies her as. If the source had mentioned anything to the contrary, I think it would have been apparent but I am not seeing the case here. WP:BURDEN applies equally (in fact more so) on the contrary claim also. Kind regards, Mar4d (talk) 15:25, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, so the wording implies that her father emigrated before Pakistan came into existence. Had a reliable source explicitly described her as being of Pakistani descent, that would have been fine. But this ascription is not made by any source, but by a wikipedia editor. I'm sure you must be aware that this is not a good idea. – Uanfala (talk)20:41, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
