WikiProject Middle Ages To do:

I added a paragraph about the story of Rostam's birth. This is a well known story. I have taken this paragraph from Caesarean section.Shabdiz 08:30, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reference to Rostam in "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time"

Added a small paragraph about the references made to Rostam in PoP: Sands of Time, a popular PC game. Noticed these while playing the game, did a little research... yeah.—Preceding unsigned comment added by The Blue Meanie (talk • contribs) 05:32, 25 March 2007

I removed this section because this information isn't very relevant to the subject at hand. These mentions aren't even notable enough to mention in of SoT's own wiki article. The content of this article should be limited to information to enhances the readers direct knowledge and understanding of this mythical hero. This was just fancruft. --75.2.85.12 03:47, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rostam as a contemporary name

Is Rostam used as a contemporary name? If so, how widespread is its use? To give some background, I know of an identical name used by the Javanese. It could be just a sound-alike, but there's a possibility that they're related. — Gareth Hughes 17:52, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I think this is the right name here; it is widespread, it sure is, as can be seen on at least vife other wikipedia's, just the way as Donia the Great is! It is a name that'll remain the articles name for a long, long time. I don't see no other alternative. The other Javanese-name ain't no commonly known name; it probabably is just the same, but a last name can be found there. Perhaps, you can search for the name, and create a redirection-page to it? -)-(-H- (|-|) -O-)-(- 19:27, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Rostam is not used much in Iran as a public name, yet, in some ext soviet union countries, the name is frequently used, as "Rustom".
