Talk:Musahiban

Merge to
It seemed to me back in January 2009‎ that there was not enough here for an article, and despite the efforts of IP editors, I still think so. The most likely targets are Mohammadzai or Barakzai dynasty. I prefer a redirect to Barakzai dynasty, since the Mohammadzai article is similarly lacking, but a merger into Mohammadzai would be fine for now. --Bejnar (talk) 04:09, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Afghan Royal Family
IP editors have added reference to a non-existance article entitled the "Afghan Royal Family" which simply redirects to the List of monarchs of Afghanistan. According to Pashtun lore, all Pashtuns are descended from Saul and are entitled to the epithet "malik" or king. As Akbar Ahmed says in Pukhtun Economy and Society on page 128, "This consciousness underlies societal attitudes to hierarchy and titles and is summed up by sayings like 'every man is a Malik, Khan or Nawab'." The Musahiban have no more claim to the status of "Afghan Royal Family" than the family of any other Pashtun ruler of the area, including Habibullāh Kalakāni, the "bandit king". --Bejnar (talk) 21:39, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
IP editor 2601:204:D000:3248:4CD6:F5DF:4169:AA0E indicated a conflict of interest in an edit summary of 29 February 2016, where the summary said "Please do not allow random people to add information about MY FAMILY!" It appears that this is the same editor as 2601:204:D000:3248:3970:4480:E754:E105 and 2601:204:D000:3248:79FA:E8CA:22B8:37FF. As I have removed the problematic portion of their edits, I have forborne, for the time being, adding the Template:COI to the article. --Bejnar (talk) 22:02, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

COI and various IPs
The IPs, who may or may not be one person, certainly do seem to have a conflict of interest. My revert today was met with "revenge of the Afghans Doug Weller, you need to stop editing true information about Afghanistan, you dirty British scum! Donald Trump is our good friend, we will ensure you and your agenda is destroyed buddy. -Making America True Again. - a change from calling the Mossad or Anonymous on me as they've done before. :) Doug Weller  talk 15:45, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
