Talk:Iranian Studies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We need a comprehensive list of Iranologists.--Zereshk 23:07, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Here is the category:Iranologits:[1]. There is also a list here:[2]. There must be more comprehensive lists. Any suggestions ? --Joe Dynue17:22, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge?

I put up the merge tag. Please see if you agree with the merge.--Zereshk 02:35, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

I agree with the merge. To me Iranology is a better title as it is much more common than the other choices. Please feel free to merge and edit. Thanks in advance. --TomJenson18:19, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

And JoeDynue, what do you think?--Zereshk 22:43, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Agree. Joe Dynue16:54, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Iraj Afshar

We really need an Iraj Afshar article. Someone please tend to it, albeit brief and short.--Zereshk 01:45, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Ditto that for other prominent Iranologists like Henning, Bailey, and Minorsky.--Zereshk 23:43, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Iranistics

Iranistics is a more widely used term for this meaning. It has a long history of usage in the academic circles. "Iranology" is a newly-made term by some Iranians who are apparently not that much familiar with the Western tradition of Iranistics. --Mani1 22:28, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

There is no such thing as Iranistics. It is a made up word, if not please give a reference. Universities and journals use Iranian Studies or Iranology.
