North Iran

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The redirect contains a potentially nationalist intent to label a sovereign country of Azerbaijan as North of Iran, misleading a reader. Tuscumbia ( talk ) 13:22, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I agree that the redirect to Azerbaijan was incorrect; I couldn't find any uses of "North Iran" in English to refer to Azerbaijan. I have changed the redirect to go to Azerbaijan (Iran) instead, which is about the Azeri provinces inside Iran. They are factually the northernmost provinces of Iran, so calling them "North Iran" seems reasonable to me. Perhaps the redirect should go to Iran instead, but I'm not sure we need to remove the article completely - I could see someone searching on this term, the question is where it should redirect.Brianyoumans (talk) 16:46, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Note I see now. Thanks for redirecting it. It would make sense that it is the north of Iran, but I don't think there are any articles redirecting from North to any provinces. For instance, there is no North France or North Denmark, etc. Correcting the redirect is fine but I just see no use for the term "North Iran". Thank you!
