Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Iranian art and architecture


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it.

The result was Redirect to Culture of Iran. This is not a disambiguation page. It contains nothing that is not in Culture of Iran. The redirect will still allow editors to use [insert ethnic group] art and architecture. Bduke (talk) 09:11, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Iranian art and architecture

I'm not at all sure why this page exists. It claims to be a disambiguation page, but isn't. The two pages to which it links, though related, are quite distinct and do not need disambiguating. In the discussion page, two editors seem to have considered it a pointless page back in February. However, a note in the edit screen of the page says "This page is designed to map from 2004 EB topic "Iranian Art and Architecture" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:2004_Encyclopedia_topics" which means nothing to me but may or may not be significant. If it is significant, then I am happy for the nomination to be withdrawn. Emeraude (talk) 14:55, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Even as a simple dab page this is useful, since there are a lot of [insert ethnic group] art and architecture articles in Wikipedia. So keep for the sake of Wikipedia's overall coherence. --Blanchardb- Me MyEars MyMouth -timed 15:13, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree with the one above.--SkyWalker (talk) 16:15, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Blanchardb. The current article is a stub. The subject is very notable. I'd expect editors to build it into a substantial article. Give it some time. Majoreditor (talk) 16:23, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment There has been art in Iran. There has been architecture in Iran.  The current article is a stub.  Tell me something I don't know. Mandsford (talk) 16:34, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment 1 "there are a lot of [insert ethnic group] art and architecture articles". Oh yeah? Not French, Italian, German, Spanish, Canadian, Mexican, Japanese, Indian to take a random sample. At least, not as Disambig pages - there are on ot tro as REDIRECTS. 2 It's NOT a stub. It is no more than directions to Main articles. There has been no work on it since it was created in 2005, so why "give it time". Please refer to the comment in the Edit page that I referred to, which does seem to suggest that this page serves a function, but it is definietly not Disambig. But, since I don't know what it means (my reason for this proposal) I make no vote. Emeraude (talk) 17:42, 22 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Culture of Iran Although there is a significant amount of important art and architecture coming from Iran, I think these subjects are much better covered in this much more general Culture of Iran article, and then these subjects are given much more specific coverage in the existing Iranian art and Iranian architecture articles. -- Nick Penguin ( contribs ) 18:11, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
