[edit] Requested move
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was OK, I'm going to cut the slack here. The phrase War in Afghanistan is most commonly referred & linked to the ongoing war; it's admittedly a recentism, but one that apparently won't go away soon. Ergo, it should redirect to War in Afghanistan (2001–present). Per Ewlyahoocom and Dekimasu, this page will be moved to War in Afghanistan (disambiguation), because it is, at least currently, a dab page. Having a Military history of Afghanistan as a separate article is an appealing idea, but someone should write it first; before that Wars in Afghanistan will redirect to the dab page.

Wars in Afghanistan → War in Afghanistan — it's a disambiguation page, not a list —Ewlyahoocom 06:43, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

- Support. Ewlyahoocom 15:32, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- Support People are more likely to look for a war in Afghanistan than several--victor falk 12:51, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
- Why not make it a list? American War redirects to List of wars involving the United States. How about List of wars in Afghanistan? Dekimasuよ! 05:28, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- I like this suggestion. It does leave the problem of War in Afghanistan, Afghan War and Afghanistan War, which could arguably mean any or all of the "modern" wars -- but based on the links should redirect to War in Afghanistan (2001–present), compare to Iraq War. How about we move the current page to the list and make a new, smaller disambiguation with just Afghan Civil War, Soviet war in Afghanistan, and War in Afghanistan (2001–present) on it?

[edit] Discussion
None of the linked articles are called "War in Afghanistan" - if anything it should be Afghan War, as most of the linked articles are variations on that. There's also the possibility of renaming as Military history of Afghanistan, and allowing expansion into a proper article. Jonathan Oldenbuck 13:53, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- It's not the links on the page, it's the links to the page, which can be found here. Ewlyahoocom 15:32, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
