[edit] "Prince"

I moved it back to this title. Please propose a move if you want to change the title of the page. This is non-standard and there is no consensus for including honorifics like Prince in the titles of articles, especially for deposed monarchs. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 20:23, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Education

To be exact, he studied Old Iranian philology, mostly concentrating on Old Persian, with Prof. P. Oktor Skjaervo at Harvard. I don't have references, but know personally that he actually finished in 2005 and holds a PhD now.--69.228.208.202 09:43, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

We need sources, specifically third-party independent reliable sources where he is the primary subject in order to satisfy the notability requirements of WP:BIO. Note that WP:ROYAL was rejected so there is no proposal to pretend is policy. The Behnam 03:34, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh come on! The man was second in line to a throne. He didn't have to do much for it but that's how royalty works! He is by virtue of his name notable enough. "The person has demonstrable wide name recognition.", to put it in WP:BIO terms. And please don't argue with me over the demonstrable thing. Anyone remotely familiar with Iran's history recognizes the name easily, as you will undoubtedly agree. Shervink 13:34, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

There is no Peacock Throne anymore for anyone to be in line for. However I agree that the subject is a notable pretender. ·:·Will Beback ·:· 19:34, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
