A dual self-identification cannot be entered under one value without falsifying it, and no source attests a school for him personally; Wikidata gives only Islam, against his own statement.

Identity: the queue line's bearer is the Indore-born actor (born 1965), son of the screenwriter Salim Khan — not Salman al-Farisi, Salman bin Abdulaziz, Salman Rushdie, Mohammed bin Salman or Ahmad ibn Salman al-Najjad, who hold records. Existence checks by name fragments (salman, khan) and by QID across data/person on origin/main found no prior record for him. The queue's year (1965, living) is confirmed to the day. Relations written: none — his father holds no person record and Indore has no place entity. Living-person care: only well-sourced public facts are recorded, and his faith entry rests on his own statement in court, with the founder flag left open.",
