Mohammed Patala[edit]

"1997 – Mohammed Patala, Future doctor to cure cancer and future prime minister of U.k and first asian to be that". Let's not go ahead of ourselves, shall we? This shouldn't be here, probably. 87.208.179.80 (talk) 15:43, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely not appropriate. When you see something that is that very obviously wrong like that you can just take it out. I have removed it. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:16, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

holidays and observances Sun day[edit]

the linked article doesn't indicate that this was anything more than one event in 1978. historic maybe but not holidays and observances. --2607:FEA8:D5DF:1AF0:89DA:FC2A:283A:498A (talk) 12:49, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
