Someone keeps deleting my entry on the ethnography Nimruz province and its capital, Zaranj, to replace it with erroneous, Pashtun-centric misinformation. Please stop. You can change the information on Wiki and try to delete the existence of other ethnic and religious groups in that country, but unless you intend to also engage in ruthless ethnic cleansing of the non-Pashtuns groups as well as the followers of the Shia branch of Islam, then your vandalizing these pages will mean nothing except perpetuating ignorance about that country. I have placed the information sources for all to examine for accuracy at the bottom of the entry on Ethnography. izadyIzady (talk) 17:12, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Native name

Inuit18 said in his edit that Nimroz is a Persian word and then removed Pashto. However, the native spelling of a name should generally be included in the first line of the article. (see fourth paragraph of Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English)). As Persian is not spoken natively, so Pashto (or Balochi?) spelling is supposed to be used there. 119.152.246.39 (talk) 14:23, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

it does not matter which Language is spoken in this province. Nimrooz does not exist in the pashto language so it is not just to add Pashto. according to your own edits there are Tajiks in this province so Persian is definitely spoken in Nimrooz.--Inuit18 (talk) 17:59, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have added Persian and Balochi to the article because Nimrooz is a Persian word and the majority in this province speaks Baluchi.--Inuit18 (talk) 18:05, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Naming conventions (geographic names) explains that "Relevant foreign language names (one used by at least 10% of sources in the English language or is used by a group of people which used to inhabit this geographical place) are permitted and should be listed in alphabetic order of their respective languages, i.e., (Armenian name1, Belarusian name2, Czech name3). or (ar: name1, be: name2, cs: name3). As an exception to alphabetical order, the local official name should be listed before other alternate names if it differs from a widely accepted English name."

By your logic, Urdu should be replaced with Persian in Pakistan's article page, Pashto should be replaced with Arabic in Abdul Hai Habibi's article page while both Pashto and Dari should be replaced with Arabic in Abdullah Abdullah (politician)'s article page.

If Nimruz is a persian word, than it should be mentioned in the brackets or somewhere else in the article. Balochs and Pashtuns make up around 90% of the population. Tajiks and Uzbeks make up the remaining 10% of the population. (Ketabtoon (talk) 19:00, 17 August 2009 (UTC))[reply]

you cannot compare Pakistan with Nimrooz. Pakistan -Pak and istan- exists in the urdo language while Nimrooz doesn't in the Pashto language. I added Balochi because the majority in this province speak Balochi not Pashto and I added persian because this is a Persian term and it should be there.--Inuit18 (talk) 21:25, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nimrooz is not even a Pashto word why should Pashto be included. please be rational for e moment. Persian should be included because Nimrooz is a Persian term. Baluchi should be included because majority in this provvince is Baluch and they have Nimrooz in their language.--Inuit18 (talk) 06:06, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Even when we do the maths on the ethnic information here... the population is around 50,000 pashtun and 45,000 Baloch, than how is it a Baloch majority province?? 182.180.61.170 (talk) 07:44, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted edits

I reverted an edit by (194.98.42.50). It is possible that it was a good faith edit, however the information is much more clear if we give the exact percentage for each ethnicity if it is possible. (Ketabtoon (talk) 14:12, 4 September 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Brahui population?

My impression is that the Brahui make up a decent part of Nimruz; does the current article just lump them in with the Baluch, or why the ommission? Stability Information East 2 (talk) 10:42, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ethnic make up

This article is yet another example of Wikipedia being hogged by Tajik/Farsiwans.. If we look at the break up of population along with population density of each district of nimroz we see that Pashtuns are significant in number and Tajiks are just a meager minority, yet it was made sure that Tajik numbers were somehow reflected in Nimroz Province as well. 58.27.230.123 (talk) 12:43, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
