Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Iranian Contributions to World Civilization

Iranian Contributions to World Civilization was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was KEEP but merge into the appropriate article(s) of Iran. Rossami 06:53, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Pointed, non-Encyclopedic title. Should possibly be merged with other articles if there is any new info in the page. roozbeh 13:07, Sep 7, 2004 (UTC)


 * Move. Change name to List of Iranian contributions to world civilisation, and maybe tidy and so a bit, don't see much trouble with it, I'll just go ahead and do that. Kim Bruning 13:08, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Page Moved to the appropriate title for this kind of thing. Vote Keep Kim Bruning 13:11, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * keep. Dunc_Harris|&#9786; 13:15, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * I'm still not a big fan of the title, seems POV and vague--what exactly constitutes a "contribution to world civilization"? Can this be merged with History of Iran or some such? [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 14:46, 2004 Sep 7 (UTC)
 * Either merge and redirect to History of Iran (which has plenty of room for this content) or use it as the basis for the requested article Culture of Iran. As written, the title is just an invitation for accusations of POV.  Rossami 15:26, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * I'll support Use as basis for Culture of Iran also. In any case content needn't be deleted. Kim Bruning 15:40, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * The current list is useful, but I agree about the name being questionable. I think that History of Iran or History of Persia would be a suitable place for this data. Average Earthman 16:43, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * The content is good. Merge with History of Iran.  Can be kept as a separate list of contributions, but incorporating the content into History of Iran is more important. Antandrus 17:14, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * The content is good, the title is somewhat POV. Merge with History of Iran or Culture of Iran. Andris 17:23, Sep 7, 2004 (UTC)
 * Certainly merge and redirect to History of Iran. Keep the redirects in place as harmless. -- Netoholic @ 18:04, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Merge, but delete the redirect, which is POV. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 19:44, Sep 7, 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Nothing wrong with the name. No reason why other countries shouldn't get such an article either. DJ Clayworth 20:27, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to History of Iran. Good content, POV title.   &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 04:14, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect. Ambi 12:54, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, move, merge, redirect, cleanup, something - shouldn't be on VfD. zoney &#09619;  &#09618; talk 15:27, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)
