Conflict: Ottoman/Arabic term is primary meaning

[edit]

Nahiyah was an Ottoman territorial admin. division. Many modern successor states are currently using the term. As such, it is often spelled as nahiyeh. I see no reason why 3 hamlets with populations of 200-400 people in Iran should be considered the "primary term" and hold it hostage on enWiki.

I suggest redirecting nahiyeh to nahiyah, and leaving the 3 Iranian hamlets as a subset there, either with a dedicated section if the Persian name has the same original meaning, or at "See also" under a heading "Villages in Iran". Arminden (talk) 04:23, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
