Talk:Din Muhammad

The wrong Din Mohammad

Death entries made in this article recently are incorrect. There were two wrestlers from Pakistan known as Din Mohammad - the one who died was "over 100 years old", not 88. I have no intention of going through the whole article removing dates of death and details, sources and past tensing of descriptors, but I do urge anyone interested in this article to put right the wrongs. The deceased has been misidentified as the subject of this article. Thanks. Ref ^(chew)(do) 20:53, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

• @Refsworldlee: I was considering working on this so I want to make sure I've got everything right: so the wrestler who died was not this Olympian? Was he this Olympian, since The Nation describes him as a 1960 Olympian? In that case, should I remove the Asian Games details and start a new article on Din Mohammad (wrestler)?

  • I think I'll remove the Asian Games etc. details and create a new article on the person who died. BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:44, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

He was the latter, older Olympian. That really is so clear to see from all the information available on the internet, and from a comparison of the photos of both in certain sources, reliable and not so reliable. Good luck with any articles on the older Olympian, as I can see no other notability putting itself out there other than his Olympic participation. Thanks. Ref ^(chew)(do) 20:37, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

I can see no other notability putting itself out there other than his Olympic participation – @Refsworldlee: If the one who died was Ashraf-Din (older Olympian), then he looks pretty notable for the coverage of his death and being the first Asian Games medalist in Pakistani history, no?

Whatever the merits of the old Din, this Din's article is still a confused mess and still claims this younger Din was the one who died. No further comment really. Ref ^(chew)(do) 21:04, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

@Refsworldlee: Created a new article on Din Mohammad (wrestler) and cleaned up this one. BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:39, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Good work - well done all round. Ref ^(chew)(do) 23:15, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
