This concerns POV tag cleanup. Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it. This permits discussion and consensus among editors. This is a drive-by tag, which is discouraged in WP, and it shall be removed. Future tags should have discussion posted as to why the tag was placed, and how the topic might be improved. Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements. This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags. No discussion, no tag. Jjdon ( talk) 20:49, 29 April 2008 (UTC) reply

I think it could use that tag. There is a lot of information about his life and career with hardly any sources. That makes it seem like someone with a close connection to the person wrote a lot of it. I added a tag that it needs more sources. Churchgoer251 ( talk) 07:58, 8 December 2011 (UTC) reply

Can anybody confirmed the number of games Sohail Abbas played? I compiled the goals scored after going through all the previous material and the games Pakistan played during Olympics. And now someone claims "Dhyan Chand" of India is the highest scorer. No idea who he is, I have heard commentators say Sohail Abbas has the highest number of goals after he took over Paul Litjens.

^ Dhyan Chand played in the era when the sport was mainly amateur outside of the Olympics. It is like counting all of Pele's goals scored in semi-pro amateur matches
