Talk:Farah, Afghanistan

2 articles
There seems little point in having two pages, one for the District and one for the City, when there is such little information on either of them. Skinsmoke 22:56, 11 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I disagree,Farah is a big city -37 400 people.It is a major trade and agricultural center and place with tourist attractions-the Citadel.There is an airport also.The article for Farah will grow in future as like the district article-this is one of the most fertile and productive regions in Afghanistan with a river allowing irrigation.It is close to the Iranian border and this give more excpectations for the future.Drjmarkov 07:36, 31 December 2006 (UTC)drjmarkov


 * The thing is, the district IS the city, so it makes sense to put them into the District one. (I suggest the district one as many links from pages like "districts of afghanistan" go there) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grant bud (talk • contribs) 13:50, 26 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I, too, support merging the two to Farah, Afghanistan, with a redirect at the old "District" article. Per the sources I'm seeing, there seems little economic/historic/political distinction between the two, and having them separate risks duplication and (worse) missing info on one or the other article.  I suggest the lede start with "Farah is a city and district" as has been done in some other articles where the city takes up essentially the entire district, and only some suburban/rural areas make up the non-city parts of the district.

 * Keep separate (do not merge). There should separate articles for Farah City and for Farah District. FieldMarine (talk) 21:49, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Population
What exactly is the source for the ~1 million population statistic? The source cited for the 2022 population in the info table is from 2012. I'm not convinced that this is a reliable statistic. TempestSounds (talk) 03:42, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
