Ali's new book is under the name Nimko rather than Nimco … I did check to confirm it is the same person. (e.g. see Nimco's Twitter account)
Her university in ‘almamater’ is the University of Bristol, whereas in her ‘personal life’ section it says the University of West England, Bristol. These are two different universities. Which one is it? Do we have evidence? Edwardaves ( talk) 17:37, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
Just came across her name elsewhere and looked it up here. Did she complete any kind of formal education? 2003:E4:4701:168:7149:F7DA:B455:AB58 ( talk) 08:18, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
I think I've just spent almost an hour trying to find a reliable reference to where she may/or may not have been to university. (As I write, the article says UWE.) The existing reference in "Early Life" states UWE, but the actually source says Bristol Universirty. [1] But I can't find anything to support Bristol reliably (BBC is reliable, but the source is actually radio which there's no audio file). She even spoke at an event at Bristol in 2017, but her bio didn't mention being alumni, which seems a bit likely if she had attended that university. [2] I can't find anything that supports UWE. In general, I've tried just about every permutation of search critieria to find something, anything that might be reliable (rather than the inevitable round-and-round Wikipedia based pseudo news sites). But I think the one page that really makes me wonder is her invitation to be a Visiting Fellow at Jesus College, Cambridge in 2021. [3] She was one of 16 fellows announced for 2021, but I noticed that in almost all the mini-bios the other Fellows invariably state their respective undergraduate and/or gradute institutions. This seems pretty apporpraite bio information for such a role at a university. But nothing is mentioned within Nimco Ali's mini-bio. This was a bit of strong indication that maybe she didn't actually go to university, or maybe dropped out. I don't know. I've got a feeling she probably did go to university, but feelings don't matter in Wikipedia. Therefore I'm going to remove any mention of university from her article leaving this very long and maybe unnecessarily detailed insight into my research. Seaweed ( talk) 21:31, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

That Ali is a friend / close friend / even "best friend" of Carrie Johnson and godmother to her son is supported by a reliable third-party source citation (Telegraph) and a quick search finds other RSs (inc. I, The Independent, ITV, The Times, The Guardian). The friend and godmother was included at the time of the Good Article review in January (when the citation was Tatler).
Against this is an unsourced assertion.
I will reinstate. Nedrutland ( talk) 08:17, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
