This article should be more than just disambiguation. I suggest merging Arabs of Khuzestan with this one. Khorshid 03:51, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I suggest moving it to Iranian Arabs, like ..i.e. Persian Jews --Rayis 01:19, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I moved it per your suggestion. Khorshid 01:38, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge from Arabs of Khuzestan

Please merge relevant content, if any, from Arabs of Khuzestan per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arabs of Khuzestan. (If there is nothing to merge, just leave it as a redirect.) Thanks. —Quarl ^(talk) 2007-04-08 09:04Z

In the article it says Arabs make 3 % of Irans pop....well that sounds incorrect...since only in Khuzestan there're ca. 9 million Arabs...that makes 12-13 % of Irans pop. & not 3%..but again persians are manipulating so many articles on Wikipedia making Wikipedia not trustful anymore... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.6.158.33 (talk) 00:04, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arab-Iranians

I strongly suggest that the name of the page be changed from "Iranian Arabs" to "Arab-Iranians". An Arab-Iranian is an Iranian citizen of Arab descent, ethnicity, or identification (compare with Irish-American, French-Canadian, etc). In contrast, an Iranian Arab would be an Arab of Iranian descent, ethnicity, or identification, such as those Iraqis of Iranian descent or were expelled from Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War.

The fundamental issue is to underscore that their country/state of citizenship is Iran, and that their ethnicity is Arab.

I would welcome the input of other contributors on this matter. Louse 22:02, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

No objections have yet been raised regarding changing the name of the article to "Arab-Iranians". However, prior to moving the page, I would like to once more offer the opportunity for discussion on this issue. Louse 20:36, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose the concept of ethnicity in the new western countries, is some how difficult to apply to the ancient nations of the old world. The main indicator of "ethnicity" in the new countries like U.S.A is racial-lingual, but in the old nations that is mainly cultural (compare with Jews). In Iran, ethnic groups have such a long background of being culturally Iranian that sub grouping them by lingual-racial considerations may not be possible. As example we have Iranian Azeri's, Iranian Kurds and etc. But considering separate ethnic groups and bind them by "Iranian" citizenship is unfamiliar: the nation-states idea is an idea that merge only after French revolution ...--Alborz Fallah 10:23, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose The current title is more appropriate. I agree with reasons stated above by Alborz Fallah. --Dfitzgerald 00:28, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arab diaspora?

Iranian Arabs are native Iranian .Being Iranian is nothing ethnic , so I think it would be correct not to use "Arab diaspora" template here . I mean if a population of immigrant Arabs live in Iran , that would be correct to name them as diaspora ( e.g : such as the students of religious schools in Qom ) , but the native Arab-language Iranians of Kuzestan , are not diasporas. --Alborz Fallah (talk) 11:23, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
