Why does someone keep deleting Sasha Baron Cohen from this page? His mother is Iranian. Is there something that I am unaware of? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.94.209.98 ( talk) 03:38, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
Why is Annemarie Schimmel listed as an American? The main article on her says she is German.
E.G. Browne was also on this list previously, listed as E.G. Browne (British)!
Is everyone from the west considered to be American? This is a bit strange isn't it?
Could the list title be amended to 'Famous Westerners in Iran?' or at least, if the title remains, it should be restricted to Americans.
Please stop adding every trivial person to this list. If all nationalities wanted to do this, Wikipedia's database would be a monumental repository of useless trivial data. Iran has plenty of pesonalities in its long history in various categories who deserve a fair article in an encyclopedia; but please let's avoid creating a long list of every insignificant Iranian who just happens to have some fame. --K1 06:44, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)
You're right, Parsis are closer to Ancient Persians but, otherwise, alot more Indian than Iranian. They dont even speak Persian, they speak Gujarati. I'm a Parsi, I would know this -Daruwalla Homey
For that matter, eleminate Freddie Mercury, Rohinton Mistry, Zubin Mehta and every other Parsi. Not just the first one. The others are still there. -Farsheed
The Elamite Dynasties are part of a time when Iran did not exist, there were no Iranians in Iran, and have nothing to do with Iran. They belong to Elam, an indigenous cultural area in the southwestern portion of modern Iran. Their language is Elamite (not related to Indo-European in any way). I agree that it should be removed from any Iran pages unless there is a specific article on pre-Iranian civilizations or Ancient Iran History article.
Herodotus calls Medes as Aryans (Iranians) and lists the six tribes of Medes (I, 101). Any Mede would then be part of an article on Iranians and Iran. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.210.84.122 ( talk) 09:32, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
The anonymous user at 69.105.224.30 is insisting on removing the Igehalkid and Shutrukid dynasties. These were really dynasties of the Elamite Empire, and not Persians. But again, the Medes were not Persians either. Persia started with the Achameneid. Any ideas?
To make sure the list is not lost, this is it:

Elam is a constituent of Iran. Iran is a greater than just its Persian parts and hence a page on Iran and its history should also link to the non-Persian aspects. I would re-instate the lists. Refdoc 23:35, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I have reinstated the lists. I think any further deletions should be discussed on this page rather than just done only to be reverted immediately thereafter Refdoc 23:46, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I removed Shariati from journalists not because of duplication, but because he has never been a jounalist. Ehsan 18:23, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)
I would suggest to reconstruct this page in a modular way, so that when someone changes the list in Persian literature for example, it changes here as well. Maybe by just giving links to proper pages or ... Mtdashti 11:55, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I believe we should use soccer player instead of football player, since the former is informative about what kind of football they play. User:Sina seems to disagree. Anybody else agrees or disagrees?
I propose we use both, with one in parentheses. (And it really doesnt matter which one).-- Zereshk 22:06, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
In actual fact the whole of wiki has this wrong. 'soccer' or 'association football' should be referred to as simply 'football'. The 'football' they play in the US should be referred to as 'American football'. Since 'soccer' came first it should be preference in this matter. 'football' it not ambiguous - it refers to the game known by Americans as 'soccer' - it's not the fault of the rest of the world that Americans are too ignorant to know any better.
Sixty-four-year-old Fred Ameri has been working for the same architectural firm since he was in college. If they fired him, he says, he wouldn’t know how to fill out a job application – but since he’s one of RBF Consulting’s senior vice presidents, there’s little chance he will have to. He’s been married to his wife for 32 years. He sits on the California Regional Water Quality Control Board and is chairman of the board for the World Affairs Council of Orange County.
nativeborn Iranian’s Ameri came to America in 1959 at the age of 18, to study medicine at Berkeley. He turned to engineering and went on to earn a masters degree in civil engineering. He quickly got a job at RBF, which was operating out of the owner’s modest home in Costa Mesa. He started a consulting firm, which became the second largest consulting firm in the country. It was the mid-70s and America was in a recession; Ameri’s firm set up a satellite branch in New York, filling it with 50 architects simply by putting a few ads in the New York Times.
While the Europeans handle much of the negotiations, and the U.S. works with the U.N. to press for meaningful sanctions, Ameri believes the U.S. should use the greatest asset we have – the wealth of intelligence and information held by educated Iranian immigrants like himself. Until then, Ameri will keep working to enlighten anyone who cares to listen. And you can be sure of one thing – he won’t quit anytime soon. The World Affairs Council has monthly luncheons at which some of the world’s most interesting people have spoken, from Mikhail Gorbachev and Frank Carlucci to activist celebrity Mike Farrell of M.A.S.H. fame. For information on the council or the luncheons – which are open to non-members – call (949) 253-5751.
-Should Parsis be listed on here with Iranians? I dont think so. Ethnically and genetically they're Persian but Iran is a nation and Iranian is a nationality. Parsis, in this respect, are INDIAN not Iranian. They can be in the category Persian people but not Iranians. Do we put Tajiks on this list or Afghan Dari-speakers, even though both of these are Persians, no. This is a list for people who are Iranian or of Iranian national origin. Including Persians and non-Persians, as long as they lived in the country or region of Iran. Historical Persians outside of the plateau like Tajiks or Parsis should not be on here.
Can anyone confirm what the criteria is for inclusion on this list and other similar lists ? Should it include people of other nationalities because one of their parents were born in Iran, even if the notable person was not born in Iran and does not hold Iranian nationality ?

You folks might wish to comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Iranian women (2nd nomination). Kappa 13:53, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
these two actresses are Iranians, established with acting films of most credible recognitions and internationally. i wonder why such names are not clickable with articles in wikipedia?! both names are still listed in black?! 213.196.208.87 ( talk) 13:18, 24 September 2008 (UTC) thank you.
Surely the name of this is incorrect and should read something like 'List of notable Iranians' ? Simply 'list of Iranians' means we should have a list of every Iranian who ever lived?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.150.5.216 ( talk) 10:43, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Every article you read about this person will confirm that he is British born, but of Iranian descent. He is not Iranian; he is British. It's like many people in the UK who are categorically 'British' but call themselves 'Asian' 'Indian' 'Pakistani' because of their roots. This does not make them from that country, rather just a declaration of their family history. The sources you have provided yourself do not confirm anything other than this. 78.150.23.206 ( talk) 14:54, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
I know what the articles say, but you misinterpret them. As I said above, reference to 'Iranian' in the first source is a reference to his roots - his nationality being 'British' - i.e. British born. The same goes for the second source; he is referred to as being Iranian - even by himself - because of his roots. You point out yourself that it says 'The UK's…' making him British. None of these quotes demonstrate that he is Iranian by nationality; you have interpreted them incorrectly. In fact, I would suggest that these sources, on the contrary, demonstrate that he is British. Please remove or take to arbitration. 78.150.23.206 ( talk) 14:31, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

I can find no evidence that Djalili is Iranian in the sense indicated in the article ("people from the Islamic Republic of Iran or its historical predecessors"), rather than being of Iranian ancestry. If there is evidence that he holds formal dual nationality, there might be a case to be made, but none of the sources presented here or in the article indicate that he does. This is different from, for example, Shappi Khorsandi, who clearly is Iranian, having been born there. Thus, I do not support his presence on this page.— Anaxial ( talk) 14:52, 28 August 2010 (UTC) |
I see that some lists are alphabetised by first name, and some by last name. I have only seen lists on Wikipedia alphabetised by last name. I suggest we do this here.
