Talk:Barbad

Article title
I've been working on the article for a few days now, and from what I can tell, the more common spelling includes the diacritic marking—per the policy you linked "The use of modified letters (such as accents or other diacritics) in article titles is neither encouraged nor discouraged". Happy to discuss further, of course. Aza24 (talk) 22:17, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi. First off, great work on the article. More or less all of Persian (and Arabic) articles in Wikipedia don't use macrons, thus imo it looks a bit weird if this one suddenly does, and it doesn't help the common reader either. But if you still insist, I won't oppose. --HistoryofIran (talk) 13:36, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah many thanks for your insight . Indeed sometimes the de facto norms are best—I'll keep it as is for now. Since I have you here, I was wondering if you could assist with something. In the Encyclopaedia Iranica article, there is "Ps. Jāḥeẓ, al-Maḥāsen wa’l-ażdād, ed. G. van Vloten, Leiden, 1894-1932."—but I'm not sure who the Ps. Jāḥeẓ is reffering to. I assume some ancient/post-classical scholar; any ideas? Aza24 (talk) 21:15, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Al-Jahiz comes to mind. He is the only al-Jahiz that I have heard of in sources. Btw, Iranica spells more or less every name how its pronounced in Persian, as in the case with 'Jahez'. --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:06, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hmmm that seems like a likely answer... aiming for GA with this one; there really are some interesting stories about him! Aza24 (talk) 22:28, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

Lang-Fa
As far as I'm aware, the Persian spelling of Barbad is "باربد" (spelling as Barbod). Amir Ghandi (talk) 11:32, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, when I rewrote the article I didn't change what was already there. The Persian wiki has the same spelling (باربد), so I'm inclined to agree with your spelling. Aza24 (talk) 03:17, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
