[edit] Iranian names

Iranian names (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

List is too broad to be helpful. This list can never be satisfied. This article contains no references, no reliable sources, and therefore cannot be verified. This is entirely original research. the_undertow talk 22:45, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep. The article is indeed badly written and unreferenced, and lacks three key features that should be expected in this kind of work: every name in its original Persian script with a transliteration and phonetic transcription. It looks as if this list was pulled from a name etymology website, so it might not be original research. And I think the subject is worth an article (many other languages have an equivalent one). So major improvements are necessary but I'd say the article should be kept.--Targeman 23:07, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete A list of names, or a list of anything without any real information about them, is better suited to some body's personal website than an encyclopedia. NobutoraTakeda 23:31, 15 July 2007 (UTC) This user has been banned and !vote has been stricken. [1]
  • Redirect Articles like this usually discuss naming conventions, forms of address and the like. As such, we already have the appropriate information at Persian name. This article is little more than a very incomplete list of names, and even if it were possible to create a comprehensive glossary of Iranian names (and by the way, how do we define "Iranian name"?) I fail to see what good that list would serve. Redirect to Persian name. Calgary 00:35, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
A redirect says that Iranians names are Persian names. I don't know if thats true. Sure, many people say that Iran is Persia, but there are many ethnic groups besides Persians in Iran, and there are many Persians not in Iran. NobutoraTakeda 14:19, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
