Untitled[edit]

I removed the notability tag from this article as it has been established in the Oxford Dictionary. This appears to be sufficient notability. Stifle 14:24, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely Notable! BUT needs EXPANSION DESPERATELY!!![edit]

The subject is definitly notable but I came here trying to figure out why the popular American homemade blanket is named after the people or culture of the nation of Afghanistan? Can someone please elaborate this article? Roz Lipschitz (talk) 09:46, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Still not fixed 10 years after the above post? This article needs help! Will (Talk - contribs) 17:51, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. Not including that information but including soldiered from a country conducting war in the country in question is misguided at best and incredibly callous and offensive at worst Rahmadullah (talk) 07:12, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology section is inaccurate[edit]

"Afghan" in the English lexicon as a term for a people dates back to the late 1700's, referencing (incorrectly) the Pashtun people. The section also does not explain the connection of the word between the two subjects. JustinMal1 (talk) 19:52, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
