== Usage == 

 Comment copied from preserved section on the move to "Sasanian Empire": 
 :I cannot really see a pattern of usage between the two forms; as I wrote above, they seem to be used interchangeably. Nevertheless, you do make a valid point: we do not want to make "Sassanid" disappear off Wikipedia if the move goes ahead. We should definitely include both forms in the lede to this article, and personally I will make sure that both forms are used in articles. For article titles, categories, etc, where most of the renaming will be done, I would agree with retaining "Sassanid" for the dynasty and its members, with "Sas[s]anian" for the state, similar to the Arsacid/Parthian differentiation for their predecessors. I don't think we can have this as a guideline since there is no "correct" version, but perhaps, after those who participate in this discussion might express their own views on this subject, we can always point to this discussion as a reference for usage.

 How the forms will be used is now necessary to decide. The intro at present simply alternates between the two terms, and I haven't even looked beyond that. The internal guideline proposed in the comment above appears reasonable to me, though applying it could be tricky.
