Jamshid
This was speedied on the grounds that it was nonsense but I think there might be the beginning of a valid article here. According to this page Jamshid was the builder of Persepolis. --LeeHunter 00:08, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)


 * Cleanup. There does appear to be several figures form antiquity named Jamshid, and the article does hint at this. The problem is that the article, as it stands, is very poorly written. Rje 01:14, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. There's a history article here, if someone's willing to rewrite and expand it. Shimeru 02:03, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)
 * Cleanup sounds right. Kappa 02:18, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Cleanup. Jamshed or Jamshid needs an article. utcursch 10:30, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)
 * Cleanup. "They say the Lion and the Lizard keep/The Courts where Jamshyd gloried and drank deep:/And Bahram, that great Hunter&mdash;the Wild Ass/Stamps o'er his head but cannot break his Sleep." "Jamshyd" is mentioned two or three times in FitzGerald's translation of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. What's good enough for Eddie Fitz is good enough for me.
