This argument is WP:GRAVEDANCING. TarnishedPath^talk 08:34, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agree to merge but merge should be in reverse Death of Mahsa Amini should merge to the more general page which is this one. Wikiedits421 (talk) 16:31, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this. WMcChesney (talk) 07:49, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

wrong statement

The sentence "only Persian names may be registered in Iran" is a baseless claim. most of Iranian people have Arabic names because they are influenced by Islamic culture. beside that, Kurdish names are allowed to register in Iran. some famous people with Kurdish name include Voria Ghafouri, Koueistan Khosravi, Sirvan Khosravi, Pashang Kamkar, Hanna Kamkar, Hemin Mustafaei, Xaniar Khosravi, Rozhan Aryamanesh, Rozhan Faiz, Diman Zandi ,Zanko Chavoshi, Siamand Rahman, Midya Farajnejad, Zana Mozaffari, Rezgar Amani, Hiwa Pashaei, Kumar Darfatdeh, Garous Abdolmalekian. there also other legal Kurdish names which has not used by famous people. 5.219.194.176 (talk) 03:26, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Calling her "Mahsa Amini" is racist and an act of cultural genocide!

Her name was Jina Amini!
To call her Mahsa, the name she was forced to be officially registered under, due to a ban on Kurdish names (a racist act, that counts as a form of cultural genocide. I.e. the attempt to erase a culture), is to support, enforce, and contribute to, the attempt by the Iranian regime, to erase Kurdish culture and identity!
Wikipedia has a strict ban on deadnaming, but when it comes to this kind of issue, which is far worse, in many ways and on many levels, than deadnaming...
Her parents gave her the name Jina. She was called Jina. (except when/where she had to use her "official" name) "Mahsa" was a name that was only used, because of force and fear, from the Iranian regime.
