Reviewed during NPP. No indication of wp:notability of the "Research of" topic. I would have merged it into the Shahnameh article but the only content appears to be some rather vague essay-like wiki-editor created text plus a quote that is not really about the topic of the article.

Comment I think a better title would be “Shahname studies”. Just as Shakespeare studies is a recognised field of scholarship in the anglosphere, Shahname studies is a recognised field in Iran. Sourcing is likely to exist in Farsi, but without someone adding that (and ideally a bit more detail to the content) it’s hard to make a case for keeping.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Draftify We can't verify anything in the article and it doesn't look reliable. Ben Azura (talk) 23:59, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, or draftify as "Shahnameh studies", I guess. I'm with Mccapra. -- asilvering (talk) 06:12, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
