Greater Afghanistan

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I'm not sure there's a region or concept called "Greater Afghanistan". I think this is original research in the same vein as Greater pakistan (see this). Christopher Connor (talk) 00:11, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

 * As alluded to on the Administrator's Noticeboard, I can vaguely source this one, albeit that I have no clue as to what the article's creator had in mind, since this article lacks context:
 * At various times, Zahir Shah's monarchy, Mohammad Daoud's republic, and post-1978 Communist governments in Kabul have all challenged Pakistan's right to rule over its Pushtun areas, alternately aspousing the goal of an autonomous Pushtun state to be created within Pakistan, an independent "Pushtunistan" to be carved out of Pakistan, or a "Greater Afghanistan" directly incorporating the lost territories.
 * This isn't just an invention on the part of a Wikipedia editor. Assuming that the editor actually had this in mind, that is.  Uncle G (talk) 00:30, 17 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge into Pushtunistan which is much the same topic. Colonel Warden (talk) 18:02, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Yup. Most of the sources I can find treat "Greater Afghanistan" and "Pushunistan" as virtual synonyms. Good plan. Fences  &amp;  Windows  23:48, 18 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Merge, concur with the Colonel. --Martin (talk) 06:32, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
