editHello geographers: can anyone help settle what province Khattan is in, and maybe help improve the article? Please see the recent history for the dispute. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 14:32, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- Google maps places it firmly in the Punjab province of Pakistan, almost on the border with India, hundreds of miles distant from Balochistan. OpenStreetMap concurs, --Lambiam 17:34, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- Lambiam, can you please look at what SheriffIsInTown wrote on User talk:Prof.Nasir Jamal, and comment? Thanks, Drmies (talk) 21:19, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- Google Maps remained incomplete, with the feature to add places being discontinued. Notably, there exists a Khattan in Kachhi District of Balochistan province as well. You can refer to the census data for Kachhi District here. Additionally, I am currently in the process of crafting an article for Khattan in Punjab. This endeavor will require thorough research to ensure the article's completeness, as I am committed to avoiding incomplete articles. I am also available to enhance the existing Khattan article.

- So there are several populated places named Khattan in Pakistan. The Punjabi one is listed in the census data for Bahawalnagar District here. There appears to also be a village Khattan, Chhatroo tehsil, Kishtwar District, Jammu division. Quite possibly there are even more places that go by that name. Rather than edit-warring about which is the true Khattan, we can have separate articles on these places and a disambiguation page. --Lambiam 04:31, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
