Dispute
Since there is a issue with the categories on select pages, please discuss this below: &mdash; JJ Be  rs  15:09, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

So, let's get to it;

The reason I removed Category:6th-century BC Persian people from some articles and redirected it to Category:6th-century BC Iranian people is because of the following reasons:


 * 1 - The Category: 6th-century BC Persian people gives limited options compared to the Category:6th-century BC Iranian people. A lot of Iranians weren't Persians (hence why I also did this edit, would be like saying that Khwarazmians, Bactrians, Medians, Sogdians etc were Persian).


 * 2 - A minor one, but the category was created 3 years (in good faith I assume) after the Category:6th-century BC Iranian people, would have been nice if the editor paid attention to other existing categories before he had done that.

Waiting eagerly for your response, Debresser. --HistoryofIran (talk) 15:58, 27 April 2017 (UTC)


 * My opinion is that this is not the place for this discussion. Take it to Cfd.
 * As to the issue itself. This category is a misconception, since standing practice is to have the century categories use the present name of the country, in this case "Iran" instead of "Persia". In addition, this category is not part of any category tree.
 * The correct way to go forward is to nominated this category Cfd for deletion, which I will happily endorse. It should not be kept and redirected. Please note that the correct procedure is to nominate this category for deletion at Cfd, but not to remove it from any pages till such time as the Cfd discussion is closed.

 * Would have made life a lot easier for us both if you had said this from the start. Splendid, I'll take it to Cfd then. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:14, 27 April 2017 (UTC)


 * I told you right away that my issue with your edits was behavioral only. I usually mean what I say. Please drop me a note on my talkpage when you take this to Cfd, and I'll happily endorse the nomination, if you decide to nominate it for deletion. Debresser (talk) 11:24, 28 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Been out all day and tired as fuk, I'll do it either tommorow or the day after. --HistoryofIran (talk) 01:29, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
