Mukhtar Ali (footballer) → Mukhtar Ali – There is no one else with this name Evertonfc13 (talk) 17:49, 17 July 2017 (UTC)--Relisting. Winged Blades^Godric 11:55, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). — Amakuru (talk) 18:05, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Basically the same name as Muktar Ali, Bangladeshi international cricketer, and the redirect already points there. — Amakuru (talk) 18:05, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support Even though they are very similar, they do have different names. They should both have a hatnote per WP:SIMILAR Evertonfc13 (talk) 18:22, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support and add the hatnote. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 19:32, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

birth place?

There are a couple sources saying that Mukhtar was born in Mecca 1, 2, while there are other sources such as this that say he was born in Mogadishu. So which one is it? Inter&anthro (talk) 16:23, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mukhtar Ali's Somali background

There are constant attempts by Saudi chauvinists to deny his Somali background in this article. Nobody denies Mukhtar's right to play for whatever national teams he has opted for, including his ancestral Somalia (alongside Saudi Arabia and England) and it was his choice to opt for Saudi Arabia. But denying his ethnicity clearly demonstrate racism. HiddenFace101 (talk) 07:01, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
