• Muhammad Ayub Khan → Ayub Khan
• Ayub Khan → Ayub Khan (disambiguation)

– This article has been moved numerous times and it seems there's never been any discussion about it. The underlying issue appears to be that we have a set index article at the common name for this person. As this person is the primary topic, the solution is simple: move the set index article out of the way. Problem solved. I could have quite simply done a round-robin move but going through a formal move request, we can settle the issue once and for all. Schwede66 22:00, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

• Support. The former president is definitely the most historically significant person who is expected to have enduring prominence while the actors' prominence fluctuates.VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 02:56, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Misrepresentation of Constable

What source Constable (2011) says:

... a shortage [of sugar] in the 1960s contributed to the fall of the country's military ruler, Ayub Khan.

How PeerBaba paraphrased it in two edits:[1][2]

The PPP also led very strong protests, street demonstrations, and riots against the Ayub Khan's administration when the prices of food consumer products such as sugar, tea, and wheat, hiked up and eventually people widely disapproved of Ayub Khan by chanting slogans and employing insults on referring to Ayub. On the streets of major cities of West Pakistan, there were massive wall chalking that were identified as derogatory and pejorative terms employed on Ayub and his image that made headlines in the print and electronic media.

The source says nothing in connection with Ayub Khan about the Pakistan People's Party, protests, street demonstrations, riots, prices, tea, wheat, slogans, insults, graffiti, print media, or electronic media. Consequently, Peer Baba's text has been removed. Do not restore it without citing one or more sources that actually verify the content. Worldbruce (talk) 17:43, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
