The source [1], which crucially details the number of Afghans in the UK, is a self-proclaimed "guesstimate", and links to a page on Amazon. This does not meet the standards required of a citation, and therefore should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HSDR ( talk • contribs) 19:27, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
Dari is the official name for the Eastern Persian spoken by many people from Afghanistan. Some people from Afghanistan also speak the modern Persian spoken in Teheran. Please see these language articles and the citations there before changing the infobox here. -- Bejnar ( talk) 20:55, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
The result of the move request was moved to Afghans in the United Kingdom. – Juliancolton | Talk 01:45, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Afghans in Britain →
Afghans in the United Kingdom — Suggesting move to reflect full name of British state, to avoid potential confusion with
Great Britain the island (i.e. the UK excluding Northern Ireland). This would also bring the article into line with the vast majority of other such articles.

I removed the section on the Stansted hijacking, because that has nothing to do with Afghan Britons as a whole. The only connection between that incident and this article is that it was Afghans who hijacked the airplane. An article on members of an ethnic group in a certain country should not have a large paragraph about a crime that happened to be perpetrated by members of that ethnic group in that country, no matter how major the crime. A single crime does not have enough relevance to the subject, a group of people, to merit inclusion. 96.26.213.146 ( talk) 02:49, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Since this page is for Afghanistani migrants to the UK then Idries Shah should be removed from the list of persons of Afghan origin in Britain. He came from an Indian Muslim family which claimed Afghan origin from centries past - which majority of contemporary Indian Muslims also claim. Notable Pakistani Pashtuns should, by this logic, be included in the list given that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province was an eastern province of Afghanistan until 1901 and the second letter A in PAKISTAN denotes Afghania.
