[edit] Persian or Farsi?

Bad title, written as original/opinion article; topic already covered at Persian language, relevant info can be merged there. See also Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/'Iran' or 'Persia'? Which One Should be Called?. Note: the article has also been noted as a possible copyvio, but the source cannot be substantiated. See [1]. In either case, I think this article should be deleted and any relevant info should be merged. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 20:22, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
