'''Neutrality of this article disputed'''

Hello!
I am afraid that this article has problems regarding
1)Neutral point of view
2)Bias
3)Balance
4)Reserarch


Persians are Iran’s single largest ethnic group, yet the article try to dismiss the Persian ethnicity as non-existent and replace is with a vague concept of 'Persian identity'. It is
sanitized form of denying the existence of Persians as a distinctive ethnic group to further political motives; The Article is extremely biased and seems to be written with a political agenda which does not comply with Wikipedias standards.


The article further contains factually wrong statements that equals Persian people with 'Tajiks' who are of a different ethnicity but speak Persian accent (Dari). The 'sources’ are of political origin that accuse Persians of racism and chauvinism.

Every other demographical group in Iran is represented by a racial-definition except Persians. It is very easy to conform that Persians do exist as a distinct ethnic group, The CIA factbook lists Persians as the ethnic majority in Iran.

The article has been redirected t from the neutral article 'Persian people' to a political constructed article called 'Persian identity’. This article is unique because no other people are described in this fashion.
