The Population of Multan is above 3083000 people according to 1998 census.
I heard this claim three times during the England Pakistan test today, any truth to it? If so, should it be included here? Fkh82 06:35, 13 November 2005 (UTC) yes, it's true.
yeah man I live in multan and I have heard it in so many times and when england cricket team was in multan then ten sports made a small documentary of multan in which they repeated that line.
I have reformated the article to improve the quality and layout to make it more reader friendly;

Sanskrit is not relevent to any article related to Pakistan. Inclusion of Sanskrit implies that this language is still in use in Pakistan, which is completely wrong. If you insist to add Sanskrit then add it in History section with the etymology of the word Multan. But remove it from the first line of the article. Szhaider 14:45, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Sanskrit script should be removed. It is not used in Multan let alone in Pakistan. It would be the same as me editing and puting urdu script beside Mumbai's name. Mik357 ( talk) 04:22, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

I recently done a partial revert to an anon edit that was immediately reverted [1]. The dentist does not appear to meet WP:PEOPLE, so, unless I'm missing something, she shouldn't be included. The arbitrary boldface to two colonies makes no sense. The changing the header from "Notable people from Multan" to "Notable polititians (sic) from Multan" makes no sense since there is a footballer included and, as of now, a dentist. Thoughts?

The "Notable people from Multan" listing has a number of MPAs and MNAs. Are such people really notable enough to list out there?

There is currently a deletion discussion taking place at Commons regarding File:Map on Dialects Of Punjabi Language.jpg, which can be viewed here. Regardless of whether the map image is deleted at Commons, I think that it needs to be removed from all English Wikipedia articles because it breaches our synthesis policy. The image creator has provided a long list of sources in the deletion discussion and it is evident from those that none contain all of the information shown in the image, nor is it a simple task to work out which bits of information were gleaned from which source(s). We simply do not permit people to aggregate information in this way. It should also be noted that the chances are very high that the various sources did not even adopt the same methodology in compiling their data, which makes the analysis of the creator even more suspect.
I have removed the image because the Commons discussion may end up as something other than "delete" and yet the thing is still invalid on English Wikipedia. - Sitush ( talk) 19:28, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Multan's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Multan (مُلتان; [mʊltaːn] ( listen)) is a city in Punjab, Pakistan, on the bank of the Chenab River. Multan was Pakistan's seventh most populous city in 2017 census. It is one of the five largest urban centres of Pakistan in 2023, with an estimated population of 2.2 million, and is the major cultural, religious and economic centre of Southern Punjab. Multan is known for ancient heritage and historic landmarks. Situated at the heart of South Asian subcontinent Multan region was centre of many civilizations.
The city is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Asia, with a history stretching deep into antiquity. The city was site of the renowned Multan Sun Temple, and was besieged by Alexander the Great during the Mallian Campaign. It was conquered by the Umayyad military commander Muhammad bin Qasim in 712 CE after the conquest of Sindh. Multan reached height of its splendour during the Arab rule of 9th and 10th century when it was made separate state of Emirate of Multan thereby ruling large parts of Punjab and Kashmir. 2402:E280:3D28:103:39AD:BA7F:47EE:6096 ( talk) 08:48, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Please change X =
"The origin of Multan's name is unclear. An ancient known name of the city was Malli-istan [1]".
to Y =
The name Multan is derived from the Sanskrit word Moola-sthan which itself is a shortened version of the more complete - "Moola-stana-puram" [2]. The famed Chinese traveller Xuanzang records the details of this place under the name "Mu-lo-san-p’u-lo" in his treatise which is available now as "Si-yu-ki: Buddhist records of the western worlds". [3]
Explanation/Reason:
1) The Statement X contradicts the very article it cites in these points.
1.a) Multan, previously known as Moolasthan, derives its name form the idol of the Sun-temple which was situated in this place.
1.b) "Mallisthan" is no where used in the article itself.
2) I request the addition of another
source as citation complementing the current source.
Thanks & Regards

In the book "The History of India, as Told by Its Own Historians" Volume 1. pages 60&61 there is a detailed description of Multan. I would like to add the text below.
History Origin Multan which was called Mula Sthana was a Tirtha kshetra for Hindus. It is devoted to the god Agni (sun god). every year Hindus from all parts of the world visit the place to offer their devotion to the god Agni. This brings a vast amount of sums to the temple.
When the Indians make war upon them and endeavor to seize the idol, the inhabitants bring it out, pretending that they will break it and burn it. Upon this the Indians retire, otherwise, they would destroy Multan. Sachidananda Hullahalli ( talk) 06:38, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

1) The Statement X contradicts the very article it cites in these points.
1.a) Multan, previously known as Moolasthan, derives its name form the idol of the Sun-temple which was situated in this place.
1.b) "Mallisthan" is no where used in the article itself.
2) I request the addition of another
source as citation complementing the current source.
Thanks & Regards

In the book "The History of India, as Told by Its Own Historians" Volume 1. pages 60&61 there is a detailed description of Multan. I would like to add the text below.
History Origin Multan which was called Mula Sthana was a Tirtha kshetra for Hindus. It is devoted to the god Agni (sun god). every year Hindus from all parts of the world visit the place to offer their devotion to the god Agni. This brings a vast amount of sums to the temple.
When the Indians make war upon them and endeavor to seize the idol, the inhabitants bring it out, pretending that they will break it and burn it. Upon this the Indians retire, otherwise, they would destroy Multan. Sachidananda Hullahalli ( talk) 06:38, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
