Contested deletion

The article is incorrectly nominated under WP:A10 which is for "recently created articles that duplicate an existing topic", when it does not meet that criteria. None of the content in the said article is taken from the other flagged article, neither is it clear how it "duplicates" the other article. As such, the speedy criterion is not valid in this case. --Mar4d (talk) 13:14, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense. I correctly nominated it under both WP:A10 and WP:A11.

WP:A10, which is titled "Recently created article that duplicates an existing topic", states in relevant part: "A recently created article with no relevant page history that duplicates an existing English Wikipedia topic"... in this case i.e., Afghan American and Pakistani American, "and that does not expand upon, detail or improve information within any existing article(s) on the subject, and where the title is not a plausible redirect." [1]

WP:A11, which is titled "Obviously invented", states in relevant part: "An article which plainly indicates that the subject was invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and does not credibly indicate why its subject is important or significant." [2]

You invented Pashtun American and created this article just a few days ago after you followed me at Afghan American and then copied portion of the content from that article and from Pakistani American. Also, there's no such thing as a Pashtun American. If there was, you should at least cite a source. You're obviously introducing a controversial term, and giving Afghan Americans a bizaare new identity that they never heard before. This is not allowed here. What made you do this? You don't even live in America, and probably never even visited that country. As an editor, you should at least study the subject before creating an article about it.--Krzyhorse22 (talk) 17:10, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a joke right?

What the hell is a Pashtun American? No Pashtun in America on census sheets will identify as "Pashtun" but as their nationality which is either Afghan or Pakistani depending from which country they're ancestors came from. Also i find it quite laughable that population figures are so wrong and say 16.000 when on the "Pasthun's People" page it says there are over a 100,000 Pashtuns living the USA. So which one is it? This article is nothing but a poor attempt to seperate Afghans then they already are thanks to ethnic conflicts. This joke of an article should be deleted if we want Wikipedia to look reputable.
