Picture[edit]

I added a "fair use" pic as this article is probably the closest we will come to a biography of Farkhunda. Philafrenzy (talk) 23:27, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge suggestion[edit]

 Done per consensus. -Kudzu1 (talk) 08:16, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:SINGLEEVENT the bio article Farkhunda should be merged here. -M.Altenmann >t 19:16, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I agree. Everymorning talk 20:44, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- Aronzak (talk) 04:11, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • A person deserves more facts beyond the fact they were murdered.Messiaindarain (talk) 05:34, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Farkhunda. WP:SINGLEEVENT applies to biographies of living persons who have been involved in an unfortunate incident. This incident illustrates her nobility. She deserves an article in her own name regardless of the lack of detail about her life. User:Fred Bauder Talk 09:01, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate" User:Fred Bauder Talk 09:03, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support merger. Both articles talk about the same thing. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 20:10, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge: near enough identical articles. Had she never been murdered, this article would not exist, thus it is a single event. '''tAD''' (talk) 07:43, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Full name in title[edit]

I suggest using the victim's full name in the title. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.76.45.140 (talk) 05:38, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unless I'm mistaken, Farkhunda was her full name. -Kudzu1 (talk) 06:09, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know of any culture/people where one name only would be the official designation of a person. Anyway, even this article gives her full name at the very beginning. 37.76.45.140 (talk) 06:24, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The vast majority of sources call her Farkhunda, the name she reportedly went by. It is not at all unusual in several cultures, especially in Asia (Indonesia being perhaps the most prominent example), for people to be known only by their given name. -Kudzu1 (talk) 19:33, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
WP:COMMONNAME is the general policy - we go with what most sources say.

Excuse me, are you aware, how an astonishingly stupid argument you made? Surely you will get a lot higher count by searching simply for a given name only. 37.76.43.171 (talk) 05:27, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

NYT's article[edit]

Farkhunda didn't merely lost balance on the roof.[edit]

The article states that Farkhunda lost her balance while fighting to stay conscious, and slipped down the rooftop and back into the crowd.

This is false. She fell because someone was bashing her with a huge wooden pole as others were throwing planks and sticks at her.

It happens 3 minutes 50 seconds in the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28u4ItL02Fo — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.30.181.33 (talk) 00:35, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I edited the article with the acurate description. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.30.181.33 (talk) 00:39, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
