Contested deletion

This article should not be speedy deleted as having no substantive content, because... it does have substantive content, just not very much. If you don't like geographic stubs use regular deletion not speedy. --Bejnar (talk) 07:44, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Official name

[edit]

The official name seems to be "Sarobi District" (Wuluswālī-ye Sarōbī), and that is where the editing history is. --Bejnar (talk) 08:02, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You mean this article? It says "Its capital, Surobi, lies about 50 kilometres east of Kabul along the A01 highway" and actually it mistakenly talks about Surobi District (Kabul), NOT Surobi of Paktika. So that redirect to Kabul was right. And سروبي is transliterated in various ways in different sources, most commonly "Sarobi", "Surobi" etc. but in Surobi District (Kabul) (same name) we are using Surobi already. Either of the names can be used here. Khestwol (talk) 11:23, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it looks like early editors conflated the two. --Bejnar (talk) 01:43, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
