Talk:Parthian Empire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm going to delete this page, since there is already a section on the Parthian Empire in the article about Parthia. If there are no objections in one week, I am going to delete the article. Thanks, SaintJimmy505 (talk) 02:17, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

That is no logic. The Achaemenid Empire was part of the Persian Empire which is in turn a part of the History of Iran but the former two have pages. Don't delete this page.Ardeshire Babakan (talk) 23:02, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Parthia or Parthian Empire

I have added a "see also: Pathian Empire" to the Parthia page. Whilst doing so, I noticed that this page has been moved nine times since January to Parthia. The Parthia article does have a robust section on the Parthian Empire, but is also more expansive than an article specifically focused on the empire. I think a few editors more knowledgeable than I on the subject could be of great assistance in turning the Parthia article into a shorter article on Parthia as far as culture and homeland are concerned, while turning this article into something focused (as the title suggests) entirely on the Parthian Empire alone. At this point, I see no reason why the two article cannot both exist. I intend to do some cleanup here and there, but this is slightly outside my range, so all help is appreciated.

[edit] Merger Proposal

As far as I can tell, this Page and Parthia cover two almost identical subjects. Why keep them separate? I propose the two be merged.Rcduggan (talk) 19:56, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
