message: 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)
replies: text: Please give examples of the persons you are objecting to. The only people I may have some objections to, are the new electronic music people. The political people, I really believe are necessary, because of the very short memory of the Iranians who forget where someone is coming from. Anyway, if you believe someone doesn't deserve to have an article, request that at the request for deletions page. This, is just a list of those who have an article and those someone thinks they should. Roozbeh 08:31, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: On many occassions it has been said that Wikipedia's space is pretty much unlimited, so the argument "useless trivial data" does not hold - what is trivial to you might be improtant to me or others. Also over half of teh persons mentioned already have an article - I think Roozbeh is doing a brilliant job. Let him get on with it. Refdoc 23:44, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)

text: If you want to eliminate trivial people from this list, you should try eliminating all the Parsis that are on here. These people were more influential in India and Britain then Iran and they are not what we would call modern-day Iranian Persians. They are Old Persian descent.
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)

message: 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 ...

message: -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.
:: Iranian Zoroastrians could be listed here. But not Parsis. They have been in India for over 1,000  years. Even, DNA tests have revealed a heavy local admixture among Parsis -RavichandarMy coffee shop 13:11, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

message: 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 ?Scarlet7 09:21, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point. It is debatable. The govt of Iran considers people born outside Iran to a parent of former Iranian nationality, still to be Iranian. That is why if they travel to Iran, they can even be drafted into the army if above 18 whether or not they claim to hold Iranian nationality.--Zereshk 12:39, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

message: 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)

thread_title:  Edit request from Farhikht, 18 August 2010 

message: 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)
replies: text: Hi. According to this source, Djalili is "a British born Iranian actor" and in the title of this one Djalili is "UK's Iranian comic", and he says: "I am Iranian, I love uranium." Then, what's the problem?Farhikht (talk) 15:02, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
