A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on May 6, 2020.

The Oxford Reference that was being cited states that she is "male". It also states that she was born in 1939 date, which seems implausible; other sources give 1930. This article says "Novera Ahmed was born in 1939, according to the screenshot of an article posted on that Facebook page. It is written by Ana Islam, a Paris-based art critic who was close to the artist. However, painter Hashem Khan wrote in an article that Novera was born in 1930." It looks as if the 1939 date began as a typo in Facebook. It is implausible that she was only six years old when "Ahmed was married to a police officer in mid 1945 in Calcutta.[5]", and also implausible that she was awarded the diploma at the age of 16. I propose that the 1939 date should be replaced throughout with 1930. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 21:10, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This could be followed up to at least some extent. I see that the second source says "Source consultée en vain", the equivalent of wikipedia's Template:Failed verification. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 13:37, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
