message: Torkham is an official border crossing between Pakistan and Afghanistan and a town in Pakistan. There is no town in Afghanistan by this name.
page needs to be redone to make this difference apparent.Rzafar (talk) 09:20, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

message: The ddrafg reference calls in a border crossing point not town. The New York Times reference refers to Towr Kham, a separate city not Torkham. Rzafar (talk) 09:24, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Torkham →  – First this article is about border crossing between Pakistan and Afghanistan, and second Torkham a town located in Pakistan near crossing, to end confusion rename it to border crossing and redirect Torkham to Torkham, Pakistan article, like similar to the Wesh–Chaman border crossing & Chaman. 103.141.159.225 (talk) 18:44, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

text: Torkham is a well known and important "border town" within the jurisdiction of Afghanistan.  The "Torkham border crossing" basically refers to a "door", which is the actual border.  On one side of the door is Pakistan and on the other side is the sacred land of Afghanistan. The road and walking space (all the way to that door of Torkham, Pakistan) is also Afghanistan. See here google earth Pakistan's jurisdiction starts only after you physically enter through the Pakistani door.  Only the Afghan government forces patrol Torkham, which existed before the 1947 creation of Pakistan. Please don't mess up the article. If you like, you can redirect Torkham border crossing to Torkham, Pakistan.--39.41.6.68 (talk) 23:50, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

text: Torkham border crossing" is a notable second biggest border crossing between Pakistan and Afghanistan, like Wesh–Chaman border crossing you can't change this article to as a Town of Afghanistan. You can creat a new article but can't hijack this one. 103.141.159.225 (talk) 06:19, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: This is not about Taliban or politics. This Wikipedia article is about a well known place called Torkham in Afghanistan, where only Afghans live, and Pakistanis cannot go there without passports and visas. It is also not about the other Torkham, which we all know is in Pakistan. Why are you fighting over this? Make another new article about a door/gate that serves as the entry point into Pakistan and call it whatever you desire. Why do you want to pretend that there is no Torkham town in Afghanistan?--39.41.6.68 (talk) 06:48, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Requested move 10 February 2023 

message: Recently some nationalist editors from Afghanistan are trying to usurp the page from its longstanding history as an article about Torkham border crossing and changing it to an article about a town in Afghanistan. The said border crossing is more notable than town on either side of both the countries and have most of the sourcing about border crossing. I have no issue if they create an article about the town in Afghanistan similar to Torkham, Pakistan but it's balatant disruption to hijack and usurp this article.
And there has been zero effort on taking consensus about such big changes. I request the editors involved to not change the article without building consensus, onus for which is on them who want to change its shape from its longstanding history. 37.111.128.190 (talk) 08:31, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
