thread_title: Move page

message: The word "Pahlavi" was deliberately taken as a pretension to descent from the Arsacid imperial dynasty, also called "Pahlavi" from its reputed origins in the province of Parthia, thus (Parthian = Pahlavi), that had once ruled Iran. This fact needs mentioning. The family name is correctly Mirpanj. Further, evidence must be examined for any pretension to a connection with the Arsacids.

message: In the opening of this article, there seems to be an editorial sentiment that "Iran" is less legitimate or less based in historical usage than "Persia."  I think that that phrase needs to be excised, as the use of "Iran" (or its older forms) dates back into at least the 1st millenium CE.  The debate of "Persia" vs. "Iran" is itself a contentious one, and I think it's better to have no reference at all to the supposed relative legitimacy of one vs. the other.  Just state that the name was changed, period.  --Sandycash (talk) 12:21, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

message: *Royal house. The article was created in 2003 as a royal house article (see it in 2004), then in 2008 it was changed into a "former country" infobox by User:R-41. I changed it to royal house two days ago because there is no former country named "Pahlavi dynasty". Instead, the former country was named variously Persia, Iran, or formally "Imperial State of Persia", "Imperial State of Iran". The encyclopedia should certainly have an article about the former country, but it should be placed under the title of Imperial State of Iran, not Pahlavi dynasty. The basic issue here is that Iran was never named "Pahlavi dynasty". We should not mislead the reader. Binksternet (talk) 23:38, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

message: Hello everyone. I see that Royal house template is put in place, instead of Former Country template. Its fine with me, as you can see above, I supported that move during a now-closed discussion. But, I want to remind all of you who are interested in this to several important issues, which I raised during the earlier discussion:
1) Article Imperial State of Iran should be recreated as soon as possible, encompassing Former Country template (removed from here), and data about Iranian history from about 1794 until 1979: The period under Qajar rulers, the 1906 Constitution, and the period under Pahlavi rulers. I think it is really important that we do this, and finally separate data about the country from data about dynasties.
2) Article Qajar dynasty should be looked into, and treated in the same way as this one - replacing Former Country template with Royal house template.

replies: text: Support creation of an article titled "Imperial State of Iran" for the reasons given, though I would also advise that the article on the Imperial State of Iran be focused on the state itself rather than the Pahlavi dynasty that is the subject of this article. That means having the new article should focus on an appropriately sized description of the monarchy that does not dominate the article as well as material on its government, politics, economy, culture of its citizens, military, and other relevant topics pertaining to the Imperial State of Iran.--184.145.74.119 (talk) 20:56, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

text: Support creation of article - Although I have no opinion on the Qajar dynasty page yet, there seems to be a big gap in Iranian history.

message: I came to this article by coincidence, and I find it rather confusing. It is obviously an article about the dynasty ruling Iran for more than 50 years, but the first infobox is an "Infobox former country", which would indicate that it was an article about the state during the reign of the dynasty. Looking at earlier discussions in this talk page, we can see that there was an RfC in 2014 with a very clear, in fact unanimous, consensus to use the "Infobox royal house". In a follow-up discussion, there was also a clear consensus to create the article to cover the former country. That article has so far not been made. Despite the consensus, one editor repeatedly reinserted the "former country" infobox until they were indeffed. For some reason their last reinsert, shortly before the indef-block, was never reverted. Since then the article has had this strange double infobox, for state and dynasty. Isn't it time now to get rid of the "former country" infobox that never had any consensus, and also create the missing article "Imperial State of Iran"? --T*U (talk) 19:24, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

message: The article's preamble uses the phrase "2,500 years of continuous Persian monarchy" but this doesn't seem particularly meaningful. The various states described as Persian Empires had wildly varying borders, cultural, religious, and linguistic makeups and were multiple times ruled by non-Iranians. Even ignoring that, there's a pretty big gap where there was no state widely known as "Persia" or "Iran" between the fall of the Sassanids to the Muslim conquest and the rise of the Safavids.
Ultimately the claim seems either baseless (if applied strictly to states with similar boundaries, with continuity of religious, cultural, and linguistic makeup) or meaningless (if we ignore that, and the big gap under the Abbasids). As far as I can tell this claim originates as Pahlavi propaganda and so violates the impartiality rules but I may be mistaken. Regardless, similar claims can be made about Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Armenia, Ethiopia, and Italy with similar degrees of legitimacy.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.106.31.140 (talk) 17:25, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Continuous Persian Monarchy not Meaningful

message: Pahlavi dynasty is a historic period of Iran between 1925 and 1979. During the Pahlavi dynasty, Soviet Union is to the north of Iran. The map "File:Aidroutes.jpg" shows Iran during the Pahlavi dynasty in World War II. In this map, Soviet Union is to the north of Iran. However, the map "File:Iran (orthographic projection).svg" emphasizes Iran but shows the current countries' borders. Due to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, in this map, to the north of Iran, instead of the Soviet Union, there are three countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan. By comparison, it is obvious that the map "File:Aidroutes.jpg" is more representative, reasonable and proper for the infobox map of the article "Pahlavi dynasty", so please use the map "File:Aidroutes.jpg" for the only infobox map of the article "Pahlavi dynasty" and never change it. 123.150.182.180 09:03, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

In this map, to the north of Iran (then known as "Persia"), there are Russia and Turkestan, but during the Pahlavi dynasty, Soviet Union is to the north of Iran.
