Map of Iran in Afsharid dynasty

No claim of notability, and way too specific an article (one map out of an entire atlas) Constantine  ✍  20:05, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge Would be better covered under the article on the map's author, Emanuel Bowen, which already has detailed description of one of his maps. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:16, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * How do we "merge" this? The article is in essence a description of an image. Having the image in the relevant article alone should suffice. And as a redirect, it is worthless as no one would ever likely search for or link this title. Constantine  ✍  16:09, 10 July 2012 (UTC)


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

 * Keep or Merge - The map, itself, is notable enough. It's one of the most historic practical maps in Iran. You can see the links in Notes section, the map has been used in several notable and reliable sources. I also agree to have an article like "Map of Iran in various eras", and merge the article with that. ● Mehran Debate● 08:08, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Afsharid dynasty which isn't too long and doesn't already have a historical map. Stuartyeates (talk) 10:02, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Merging to Afsharid dynasty is not appropriate here. This article is about the map itself, not about the Persia in the Afsharid dynasty. The question here is: Should there be a separate article about this map, drawn by a Emanuel Bowen, a notable mapmaker? •••Life of Riley (T–C) 21:05, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with you that merge to "Afsharid dynasty" does not sense good! But what about Map of Iran? I think the answer of your question could be no; but we should have an article which contains this maps altogether with the other maps of Iran, like Flag of Iran. ● Mehran Debate● 05:38, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to Emanuel Bowen. This map has some notability, but probably not enough for its own article. Bazonka (talk) 06:39, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
