A very short article. However, though I am not particularly familiar with the literature on the Sasanians, I cannot find any evidence that there are any major points which are not covered, so I think this passes criterion #3 despite its brevity. (The most recent relevant discussion I can find is here, which concludes that For an article to fail the broad criteria it must be demonstrated that something is missing through reliable sources.)

The sources are all clearly reliable, and support the claims being made in the article. The one image is relevant and appropriately licensed. The article is stable and neutral.

The only real issue I have with the article, which prevents me from promoting it immediately, is one awkward sentence: "In the second paragraph, Shapur I claims to have rewarded Adur-Anahid, along with princes and other high-ranking members by ordering sacrifices in their names". High-ranking members of what? Of the Persian court?

I would also be inclined to begin the section on biography "Adur-Anahid was a daughter of..." rather than "She was a daughter of..."

Other than those two fairly minor points, this article is in good shape, and is almost ready for promotion. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 22:38, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
