Population of Charikar
editThe version [1] states that there are 153,500 inhabitans in Charicar in 2006.
This must be an error.
In the statistic from Afghanistan states [2] that there are an est. of 48,100 in urban areas in Parwan.
German wiki tells that there where a population of 34,900 in Charikar in 2003. I've removed the population number from the article. Hogne (talk) 08:35, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- According to AIMS, the population of Charikar District is 133,618, see here. Since Charikar is a big city, we can assume most of that number is from Charikar and that Charikar's population is around 130,000. TheNewPianist (talk) 00:58, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not that sure. From the statistic above there are only 48,200 in urban areas in Parwan, and from the picture at google map Charikar doesn't look like a big city at all. Hogne (talk) 10:28, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Kōhdāman
editWhat is Kōhdāman and why should it be in the lead sentence? --03:08, 2 February 2009 (UTC) Is it the Kohdaman Valley? --Bejnar (talk) 03:10, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
- The article currently says the city "is the main town of the Koh Daman Valley". However, the sentence is unsourced and I can't find any other mention of that valley on Wikipedia. Is that another name for the Panjshir Valley? The article also says the city is "at the gateway to the Panjshir Valley". — BarrelProof (talk) 17:39, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

| It was proposed in this section that Charikar be renamed and moved to Imam Azam.
result: Move logs: source title · target title
This is template {{subst:Requested move/end}} |
Charikar → Imam Azam – The name of the city was changed from Charikar to Imam Azam. So this should also be reflected on the page title. (as the article has been changed to it). Noorullah (talk) 00:37, 27 June 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 16:20, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- Note: pages with content, such as was Imam Azam, are ineligible to be proposed titles in move requests unless they, too, are dispositioned. Imam Azam has been redirected to Charikar to meet that requirement. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 03:17, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- How are independent sources referring to this city? That's the first question to ask whenever a city gets renamed. O.N.R. (talk) 02:52, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not sure, nothing significant has come up since the renaming of the city. Noorullah (talk) 05:12, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- So it might be too early for a move. O.N.R. (talk) 23:33, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
- And wasn't it renamed to 'Imam Abu Hanifa', not 'Imam Azam'? The one source that mentions the renaming announcement does not mention 'Imam Azam' at all. — BarrelProof (talk) 00:52, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
- Also, isn't 'Imam Azam' ambiguous? It could refer Abu Hanifa, the theologian and jurist, couldn't it? — BarrelProof (talk) 00:58, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose per lack of evidence of WP:COMMONNAME / WP:NAMECHANGE in WP:IRS and ambiguity of proposed title. Imam Azam should redirect to Abu Hanifa. — BarrelProof (talk) 18:55, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
- See [3] and [4]. @BarrelProof Noorullah (talk) 03:28, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
- The two sources differ between "Imam Azam", and "Imam Abu Hanifa" Noorullah (talk) 03:30, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
- Personally, I suspect the city is still primarily known as "Charikar", especially in English-language sources. — BarrelProof (talk) 16:17, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

- It has been renamed by terrorists. So it is better not to be weak towards terrorists and keep the old name. Wisdood (talk) 11:11, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
