Iranian nations

Delete: Not notable and missing references (also requires cleanup). Neologism in the best case. Aucaman 22:45, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment: Those are not references. Where's the information in the article coming from? Pakistan is an Iranian nation? Huh? In the best case it's personal research. Aucaman 23:44, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep: Iranians are a branch of Indo-Europeans and the article should be kept. Just like there are Arabic speaking nations, Germanic nations, and Turkic nations, there exist Iranian nations

  • uhh, yeah it does; it refers to nationalism that lays claim to a "greater" Iran. There could be a section on this in the Iran article, or perhaps elsewhere, but the phrase "Iranian nations" used in this manner is not notable.--csloat 23:57, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I just checked and found articles for Greater Iran and Pan-Iranism. There is no need for this article. The supposed references for this article -- I looked at all four of them -- never once mention "Iranian nations" used in this manner. I'm not sure what the point of this page is, since we have the others.--csloat 00:01, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Maybe these articles should mention it. I dont know. There is more than 1 Iranian Nationalism ideology though, you have to remember that. There are a few dozen of different Iranian nationalist parties in Iran and out of Iran.--Kash 00:13, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Someone removed the AfD notice from the article, I reverted to put it back. I'm leaning towards keeping this article, but if so, shouldn't it be renamed Iranian Nationalism? --Xyzzyplugh 23:38, 8 March 2006 (UTC)


  • The term is not made-up. There are hundreds of references to "Iranian nations" in many academic papers and articles. Just google the term and you'll get hundreds of results, many of them academic. --ManiF 20:41, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
  • It only get 338 hits. " + nations" is likely to get a lot of hits. Try any country. Most of them get more than 338 hits. "German nations" gets 17,400, so that should have an article too? Aucaman 21:46, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
  • "German nations" gets so many hits because of so many references to the "nations" of Eastern and Western Germany during the Cold War. Regardless, that's irrelevant to this discussion. My point was that the term "Iranian nations" is not a "made up term" and that's a fact. Persians, Kurds, Baluchs and many other Iranian peoples are referred to as the "the Iranian nations" in many published scholarly works. --ManiF 22:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
