List of Iranic dynasties and countries
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Completely nonsensical article. The title is "Iranic dynasties and countries", whilst there is no such thing as "Iranic countries". Second, the article uses 0 references and uses Wikipedia redirecting links as sources. Thirdly, the title doesn't congruent with what the article states. The article includes all former empires and dynasties that were either of one of the Iranian peoples or adopted an "Iranian language". There's no such concept nor source that confirms the info/content in this article in the slightest, except maybe for some Pan-Iranist "sources". The concept of the article is an irredentist self-made OR theory, and therefore, does not belong on Wikipedia. LouisAragon (talk) 05:46, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep -- This is not patent nonsense. I am not wholly convinced of its merits, provided the criterion is that an Iranic language is spoken by a majority.  However today they various Iranic langiuages are not necessarily mutually comprehensible, so that I am not sure that the whole thing has any sigificant coherence.  I wonder if we are not looking at an aspiration from Iran to dominate the area where other Iranic languages are spoken.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:55, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - Per the rationale I already described above. Besides we already have an already about "Iranian countries and dynasties" which on top of what I wrote make this article again totally redundant and therefore it must be deleted. LouisAragon (talk) 22:50, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Edit; we even already have this article List of Iranian dynasties and countries, that has the exact same purpose as this one, except its already fully worked out and references. This article needs to be definetely deleted. - LouisAragon (talk) 12:48, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete This article is a synthesis of information (seemingly) culled from other Wikipedia articles (certainly not from any published secondary or tertiary sources) tied together by Iranian languages and an historic timeline. This seems to me an obscure, tangential variant of WP:OR. Time to delete. Tapered (talk) 02:29, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
