Achaemenid Pakistan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Patent nonsense. This hoax article needs to be deleted ASAP. There's absolutely no such thing as "Achaemenid Pakistan". Imagine titles such as "Phoenician France", "Byzantine FYROM" or "Achaemenid Romania", and what-not totally nonsensical anachronistic names. There was no such era. Pakistan was created in 1947, so there was no "Pakistan" before that. On top of that, the article contains nothing more than a few links of Achaemenid satrapies (provinces) which happen to be located on soil of what today is "Pakistan", the post-1947 nation. There is no reason that I can possibly think of that could merit the keeping of this nonsensical "article". Pseudo-historical nonsense at its best. The "new" user who created this, created this equally nonsensical article as well (which is being AfD'd as well). - LouisAragon (talk) 01:58, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete There is already an article Achaemenid Empire which explains everything in detail. Agree with nominator that the title is imagined. There doesn't seem to be any sources which use the title either. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 04:38, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete The POV warrior that created this article to redirect from the extant Achaemenid Empire article to this foolishness. Indeed, I'd love to see the nom write up a Byzantine FYROM article; revisionist history at its best!  Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 14:07, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

 * SNOW Delete as certainly questionable overall, nothing to suggest there's salvageable information for an acceptable article. SwisterTwister   talk  02:07, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
