The result was delete because Cupboard aquarium baseball said so. Note that although it was not included in this AfD, the article List of common Persian surnames has been speedy deleted also based on this AfD. —Doug Bell talk 23:05, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

List of Persian given names

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

WP:WINAD. This article is merely a list of names belonging to a language (i.e. a word list) with no prose or explanatory text or encyclopedic purpose. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. This is the kind of thing that Wiktionary is made for, and so it has been transwikied to Wiktionary (see wikt:Appendix:Persian given names) and may now be deleted. See precedent at, for example, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of first names, Articles for deletion/List of given names by language, Articles for deletion/List of East African given names, Articles for deletion/List of Vietnamese given names, Articles for deletion/List of Slavic given names, etc. Deletion after transwiki is standard procedure.

 * Delete per nom. Honestly, anyone can name anyone anything and a list based merely on a language is rather arbitrary. I can name my son "Cupboard aquarium baseball". Shrumster 05:23, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Except in Japan, where "cupboard", "aquarium" and "baseball" aren't on the Jinmeiyo kanji list! ;) Seriously, I would totally support something like that in the Western world, to stop people naming their kids ridiculous things... --Candy-Panda 12:58, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
