Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Notable Iranian Mathematicians
A valid list of Wikipedia articles.  does not apply as this is type of article is allowed and is totally unproblematic in principle (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists, etc), and citing "as per nomination" is an Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions|argument to avoid. You can argue either way about whether it's appropriate to include both old Persian and modern Iranian - certainly there's a strong sense of shared culture and tradition between different civilisations in that region, and History of Iran covers everything from ancient to modern. The remaining question is whether it is a duplicate of List of contemporary Iranian scientists, scholars, and engineers, and since that article does not index by subject or allow sorting by subject, I think it's useful to have both lists
