List of Fire temples in Iran

 * Nominator(s): POS78 (talk) 13:59, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because It is important in the lists of historical monuments and has sufficient and reliable sources POS78 (talk) 13:59, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Two drive-by comments
 * At just four sentences, the lead is far far too short
 * Why is the word "fire" capitalised in the article title? I can see no reason for that -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:17, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Further comments
 * I would lose the word "see" in the two brackets in the lead
 * "For, one "who sacrifices unto fire with fuel in his hand ..., is given happiness"." - this isn't a complete sentence
 * "The Adrian is a historical Fire Temple" - here you have capitals on both words of "Fire Temple". The title of the article only has a capital on Fire, and the first sentence of the lead doesn't have a capital on either word.  Which is correct?
 * "The Adrian is a historical Fire Temple belongs to" => "The Adrian is a historical Fire Temple belonging to"
 * "the story of finding Zarathustra and accepting Vishtaspa's religion is regulated" - the story is "regulated"? What does that mean?
 * Under the second temple, the second sentence is insanely long and needs breaking up. Also, no reason for a capital A on "and" in the middle of a sentence
 * "The Adur Farnbag is a historical Fire Temple belongs to" => "The Adur Farnbag is a historical Fire Temple belonging to"
 * No need to keep wikilinking fire temple
 * No need for capital on Mosque
 * "The Espi Mazget is a historical Fire Temple and mosque belonging to"
 * "It related to the period Sassanid antiquity building." - I think this should just be "It relates to the Sassanid period of antiquity"
 * "The Fire Temple of Aspakhu is a historical Fire Temple belongs to" => belonging to
 * "The Fire Temple of Azar Ju is a historical Fire Temple belongs to" => belonging to (I'm going to stop typing that each time it occurs, just check for all the uses and fix them all)
 * No need to keep wikilinking Sasanian Empire
 * "eight kilometers west of city center" => "eight kilometers west of the city center"
 * Fire Temple of Isfahan description has no sources
 * Is there a way to vary the descriptions a bit? It gets a bit repetitive reading "The Fire Temple of [X] is a Fire Temple belongs to the [Y] dynasty and is located in [Z] County" over and over again............
 * "	The Fire Temple of Kusan is a historical Fire Temple belongs to the Early centuries" - no need for capital on Early
 * Fire Temple of Yazd note is only partly sourced
 * "The Temple of Mehr is a historical Temple belongs to the Prehistory" - no need for a capital on Prehistory
 * All sources which are in (I presume) Persian need the language indicated. Also, a translation of the title would be useful
 * Think that's all from me -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:38, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

More in-depth comments later. ~ HAL  333  21:36, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comments from HAL
 * I agree with Chris: the lede is far too short.
 * Could you add scope to the temple name column?
 * Could you also add coordinates for the temple locations?
 * You might run into some problems with the sources: I'm not sure they're reliable.


 * Comment
 * Is anyone planning to address the comments above? I added quite an extensive list of comments eight days ago and in all that time the only one that's been addressed is the incorrect capitalisation of the title (and that change wasn't made by the nominator)......... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:28, 12 March 2021 (UTC)


 * I'm going to now firm up an oppose on the grounds that the nominator isn't making any attempt to address comments which are now nearly two weeks old..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 21:03, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose per above until above comments are addressed. Therapyisgood (talk) 01:17, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Closing. -- Pres N  20:10, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
