 * Result: Delist - I find a WP:silent consensus too weak to close on neutrality issues of an article like this, but the verifiability issues and outdatedness issues are enough to delist. Femke (alt) (talk) 08:01, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

This article is currently a way off meeting the GA criterion of verifiability. It has had a verification needed tag since December 2021, and there are nine citation needed tags throughout the page. Since the article was promoted to GA status in 2010, instances of the existing material being demonstrably incorrect have also come to light on talk that call into question both the article's accuracy and neutrality. This has caused at least one other editor to also question the article's GA status. The article also no longer covers the main aspects of the topic properly. There is a dearth of information post-1979, and there has seemingly been not a single update since 2013, making the content grossly outdated. The page also irrelevantly recounts the emigration of Zoroastrians to India, yet, despite the sizeable population there, and the huge tensions between different minorities, it makes no mention of the state of persecution, or lack therein, in India. Despite having sections on both persecution by other Zoroastrians as well as Christians, the lead does not mention this but slants the subject from the single-minded POV of Muslim persecution of Zoroastrians. The page is meanwhile organized in terms of persecution by Muslims first, other forms later, despite this being anachronous, since the other types of persecution date to Sassanian and Roman times and should simply be included at the beginning of the chronological history of persecution. Not great in all. Iskandar323 (talk) 14:34, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
