[edit] Life under Taliban rule

Life under Taliban rule (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Speedy-tagged as POV and unsourced. The subject itself doesn't seem unworthy of an article, though this particular article is a naked list with no sources and little content (sounds like it was compiled from someone's memory of what they saw on TV). If it's going to exist at all, it should be better written with credible sources, as it's otherwise a magnet for POV speculation. Opabinia regalis 02:25, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete is probably the best option, although sourced information (and it can't be too hard to find sources on at least some of this) could be easily merged into an article on the Taliban or a larger History of Afghanistan page. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 02:55, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep but I agree with the above. The article desperately needs better sourcing and probably a new name. This is probably viable merge fodder as well. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 03:01, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Taliban Movement Taliban Movement#Life under Taliban government per below. There is a section called Life under Taliban government in the well sourced Taliban article (that article has 22 references). This is needless duplication, POV, and some parts (like the part about opium) contradict the main article. If the section gets too large it can be split off to a separate article later.

Note to self: Check possible redirect locations for duplicate information before making helpful suggestions [end note]. That definitely seems like a viable way to do things. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 03:24, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

• How about redirecting specifically to Taliban Movement#Life under Taliban government? Just a thought.--Kchase T 23:13, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, and replace all content with what is currently at Taliban Movement#Life under Taliban government --T-rex 19:17, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. The one source given is an old, suspiciously biased BBC article that was written before Iraq or 9/11. This is POV BS, if you'll pardon my Coptic acronymage. Black-Velvet 05:06, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
