Talk:Persian garden

This article greatly overlaps the Paradise garden article, and should be merged into it. Unless material can be found on the later uniquely Iranian gardens, eg. those of Esfahan. Imc 18:50, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Oppose - It is interesting that in 2004, it was suggested that "Persian garden" be merged into "Paradise garden"; now it has been suggested that "Paradise garden" be merged into "Persian Gardens." [Note the singular and plural.] While a "Paradise Garden" may have originally been akin to a style of Persian garden, it has now become (through folk and outsider art) something bearing its own nature, and the article should not be merged.  Just imagine...Howard Finster having creating a Persian garden!  Meanwhile, I have no problem with merging the "bagh" and "charbagh" articles into "Persian gardens."  I am concurrently posting this "oppose" vote on the "Persian garden" and "Persian gardens" talk page, and copying the 2004 section on the "Persian garden" talk page to the "Persian gardens" talk page.
