The Urdu article is a translation of the English and the Arabic a condensed rendering of the same sources — one source family. Existence checks by name fragments (shafi, شفیع), by Arabic label across data/person, by biography and by QID found no prior record; he is the Lahore League founder of 1869–1932, not Muhammad Shafee Okarvi (record person/muhammad-shafee-okarvi) nor any other Shafi namesake. No parent edge to his daughter is written here: schema/predicates.yaml defines only child_of (parent_of is its computed inverse, not a writable predicate), so the edge belongs in the child's record (person/jahanara-shahnawaz), which exists and is not edited in this run; the kinship is stated here and in the prose. No child_of edge is written either: his father Mian Din Muhammad has no person record.",
