Talk:North Waziristan District

message: Although all of the subdivisions of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas are agencies, historically North Waziristan and South Waziristan have usually not had the word "agency" attached to their names.  See for example 90,600 Google hits for "North Waziristan Agency" vs. 297,000 for "North Waziristan", and similar numbers for the south.  We should strive for actual usage rather than consistency.  "North Waziristan Agency" usually refers just to the government, i.e. the Political Agent and his officers and offices, rather than to the history, geography and demographics of the area. --Bejnar (talk) 02:46, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

message: One can see on the map, with difficulty, that North and South Waziristan form the southern portion of the Federally administered Tribal areas. The graphic to the right is the same for both articles on North W and South W, and the label could be improved so as to misguide less. ( Martin |  talk • contribs  22:08, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

text: These two moves don't seem necessary. The other districts mentioned are ambiguous with other titles, but North amd South Waziristan are not ambiguous so the extra disambiguator "district" is not required.  — Amakuru (talk) 22:45, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Still, this is necessary for consistency (see West Karachi District, Central Karachi District, East Karachi District, Upper Kohistan District, Lower Kohistan District, North 24 Parganas District, Upper Chitral District, Lower Chitral District: hypothetically, all these examples could go without, but they don't because, similarly to North and South Waziristan, the word "District" is part of their name; Upper Chitral and Lower Chitral are two different places). Also, the article explicitly is speaking of those districts, showing their borders and talking about the internal divisions of those districts. "District" isn't a disambiguator, it is literally part of the name of these two districts. -- Abbasi786786 (talk) 13:04, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
