Persian Gulf
Hi. I thought it would be beneficial if I explained why the name Persian Gulf is used instead of Arabian Gulf. The simple reason is that the former name is more common in English language reliable sources. The relevant policy is WP:COMMONNAME. In the Arabic Wikipedia, the name is الخليج العربي (Arabian Gulf), because that is the most common name in Arabic language reliable sources. For the name reason it is known as Basra Körfezi (Gulf of Basra) in the Turkish Wikipedia. I hope this was helpful.  Mohamed CJ  (talk)  16:16, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
