Noor Jahan's original name from birth was Noormahal which was changed later to Noor Jahan. A small town is named about her original name. This town is called Noormahal or Nurmahal which is located in Jalandhar district(Punjab/India).
Refference: "India and Her Neighbours",by William Patrick Andrew, 'The Remarkable Women of India' section, Page 91.
About me: I am born and raised in Nurmahal or Noormahal town, the same was told to me by my great grand father when I was a kid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rkatwal ( talk • contribs) 02:50, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
A few years ago, I looked upon this page as one of many references for research after reading the assigned book The Twentieth Wife by Indu Sundaresan; the page was completely different and had lesser information. The context on the wiki page now resembles every bit of info & name (as well as spelling) from the book itself. The book is a historical fiction, therefore not all of the content is verifiable. Whom has edited the page since then and is it reliable information or does it even have a verification source/link? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.96.166.13 ( talk) 03:24, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
How can this article be imporoved? I have to edit a wikipedia page for my university history class and was wondering what type of things I could add to the article to imporve its style and validity. So far I have been working on the style of the writting and its format, in addition i have been adding refernces from various book i found at my school library.

I came to this page to read more about this historical figure after watching a wonderful, fictionalized dance drama of her life. This page seems to have many discrepancies and there are contradictions too. Can someone who is well-versed in the actual, nonfiction history please have a look at this, to verify and clean this article up? While some parts seem to be researched well, others seem to contradict those, and also seem a bit fictionalized. I have no knowledge of this era or this woman, so I do not want to attempt any editing, but this is a call to experts to please take a look at this page. Thanks! 2601:9:2500:978:A4B4:779A:8126:DB8 ( talk) 14:30, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
I propose merging Farsh-i-chandani into this article. I raised issues when reviewing the article's DYK nomination—I felt that the Farsh-i-chandani article focuses primarily on "Nur Jahan's fashion and artistic interests" (it's the name of a section) and the nominal subject took a back seat. RAJIVVASUDEV, the article creator and nominator, cited the lead of WP:SPLIT as a reason why it shouldn't be merged into Nur Jahan#Patron of the arts and architecture; as the section is currently four rather short paragraphs long, I don't see how the merged section would be "out of proportion to the rest of the article, as RAJIVVASUDEV feels it would.

@ RAJIVVASUDEV: Stepping back a bit from an detailed analysis of the current article version, I think it would help to read WP:THREE and see if there are three reliable sources that provide significant coverage of the subject, i.e. Farsh-i-chandani (IMO there is not even one such source). If there is still disagreement over the issue, I'd suggest opening an AFD so that more editors are likely to see the discussion, which can then be formally closed as or Keep/Merge.

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: The alt could be altered to something like "popularised" instead of "designed", and the image could be removed/made clearer, but bigger problems exist with the scope of the article. I am half tempted to place a merge proposal to Nur Jahan#Patron of the arts and architecture at WP:AFD ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 16:35, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
