Death or not death
Unless an editor provides a number of reliable sources showing >Death confirmed, (and unless I'm mistaken), nothing should be changed, because if anyone concerned reads the reports they show some claiming his death and some denying the reports of his injury and death. please look into the content of sources sufficiently to check this. Antrangelos (talk) 20:33, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

See in particular the statement from the Taliban and audio message attached, allegedly from Mansoor himself, here: http://shahamat-english.com/leader-of-islamic-emirate-amir-ul-mumineen-mullah-akhtar-muhammad-mansoor-ha-releases-audio-message-concerning-latest-rumors-and-few-other-subjects/. phme (talk) 13:10, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

BLP status change
Due to the death of this person, the BLP status of this article has changed. This does ‘’’not’’’ mean that unsourced material that would contravene the Biography of Living Persons rules can be added to articles. Capitalistroadster (talk) 06:47, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Relations with Iran and Russia
Tr56tr is there any reason as to why my edit was reverted? Please go through those sources regarding relations with Iran and Russia. You will find that those sources are credible.Afghanzalmay (talk) 11:12, 26 November 2018 (UTC)


 * After I checked, I confirmed that you did add some reference, but you also deleted the other content, please explain the reason for the deletion. If I feel reasonable, I will say sorry to you. --Tr56tr (talk) 12:49, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Tr56tr actually those are not my changes if you go through the edit history. I wanted to 'relation with Russia and Iran section' back. So far that reason I reverted the edit. I didn't pay attention to other changes which you mentioned. Afghanzalmay (talk) 13:33, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
 * User:Abhishek9779,I think you should try to talk to Adamgerber80 about this. Obviously you should ask Adamgerber80 to get the answer.--Tr56tr (talk) 15:23, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
