There is a listing in this article for the Ahmadabad Province. However, all references show no such province in existance for Afghanistan.

The website referenced (http://www.kohistani.com/afghanistan/provinces/) doesn't even have a listing for Ahmadabad. Can someone help as to if this is a factual province?

Advice re creating articles for the districts
[edit]See Category talk:Districts of Afghanistan for discussion of naming conventions. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 14:23, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Some advice for anyone wanting to create articles about Afghanistan districts (there are currently over 300 without their own article).
- We seem to have settled on including the word "District" (upper-case D) in all article titles. See Category talk:Districts of Afghanistan for discussion of naming conventions.
- As this article makes clear, district numbers and boundaries seem to change very frequently. This Excel file is the most up-to-date listing I have found (June 05), and also shows where districts have been split, moved from one province to another, etc. Unless anyone finds anything more recent, it should be used in preference to any other on the Afghanistan Information Management Service website.
- Different transliterations are common. Eventually, we'll need redirects from all the possible names. Most articles on provinces of Afghanistan now contain a list of districts - let's try to make sure that these point to the name that the article is created at, otherwise we'll likely get lots of duplicate articles created.
- UNHCR District Profiles are available for many (though by no means all) districts. In some cases they will relate to districts which have since changed name, moved to other provinces, been split up, etc., so check with the above listing. Used with caution, the UNHCR profiles are a hugely valuable source of reliable information.
- Don't assume anything listed on the AIMS site as "coming soon" is necessarily coming soon, or that anything listed as current is necessarily current. Most things on there are dated - that's your most reliable indicator of what's up-to-date.
Drop a note on my talk page or on here if you have any other thoughts. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 14:29, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- Hey OpenTop - can you confirm that the maps shown HERE reflect the new changes to the districts? :) Rarelibra 12:55, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Ahmadabad Province?
