Don't Delete. Improve. This is quite obviously an entry which is here to stay. -The Gnome (talk) 08:11, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I have removed uncited comments and improved the way the writing flows. Also removed fan based opinions although sounds like thy have been written by his notorious forever changing names agent (212.22.3.8 (talk) 14:25, 13 March 2008 (UTC))

This needs redoing again - again his PR company have been at work —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.83.104 (talk) 17:51, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Right, had a go at making this less like a PR piece and more encyclopedic. I would suggest that someone else can fill in the gaps (especially on how he got in acting etc). 86.143.83.104 (talk) 00:10, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Origin

What is Tamer Hassan's heritage? I see that his father was of Indian origin, whereas I have always thought Hassan was a full-blooded Turkish Cypriot? Am I mistaken? Can this issue be cleared? Cypriot stud 21:07, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

He is full blooded turk NOT indian.

Shopkur T. Hassan, Tamer Hassan's grandfather, was Indian, therefore [Tamer] Hassan cannot be a full-blooded Turk; correct me if I'm wrong, but evidence seems to suggest that his Turkic ancestry is Turkish Cypriot, not Turkish. His father, Sohail Tamradge Hassan, obviously Indian, was born in Wales. I'm trying to work out how much Indian ancestry he has (was his father's mother Indian, too?) and where the Turkish Cypriot heritage comes from (perhaps his mother, or his paternal grandmother, perhaps?).

Incidentally, the links to the Wiki entries for Hassan's father and grandfather are unnecessary. They will, most probably, never have an individual Wiki entry. -The Gnome (talk) 08:11, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Where have you come up with all this "Cypriot stud"? I have done some research and did not find anything about a "Sohail Tamradge Hassan" you are clearly making this up; otherwise show some reliable sources.WPC2011 (talk) 15:10, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

According to footnote 3 his fathers name is Hasan Bey and he is a native of Nicosia.Turco85 (Talk) 00:06, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Nationalitiy and Ethnicity

Tamer was born in England. This makes him British not English. English is an ethnicity (i.e. a white person). His ethnicity is Turkish (Cypriot). If his parents are Turks how can he be an English person? Does ethnicity change based on where a person is born? The answer is no. Only their nationality.Turco85 (Talk) 22:54, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
