Title
Should we change the name of article to "mahsa amini"? 185.111.13.174 (talk) 06:21, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- No, because she isn't notable. It's her death & the reaction to it which are. I moved the article to Killing of, when the article portrayed her death as a certain killing. The article now portrays it as a suspicious death. Jim Michael 2 (talk) 12:19, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- This is a person article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd 49.224.240.13 (talk) 05:53, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- And then there is also this article: Murder of George Floyd
- As well as several "reaction" articles about the protests, trial, etc. Cheers! 98.155.8.5 (talk) 18:03, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- This is a person article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd 49.224.240.13 (talk) 05:53, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
'Furthermore, various videos of the violent method of arresting women by Mortality police officers in the cyber space, indicate the violent treatment of the police against women'
I have no clue what this sentence are trying to say Trade (talk) 20:07, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
Press TV blacklisted
The government's official response is here "Iran president orders thorough probe into case of women who collapsed at police station" (presstv.ir) https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2022/09/18/689433/Iran-President-Raeisi-orders-probe-Amini-case
I think the Iranian government's English news website is banned on Wikipedia. Thus, their answer can't be added to the article. 24.125.105.21 (talk) 18:11, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- Many other journals will cover this - and we don't have to worry about RS certification. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.111.31.194 (talk) 19:07, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
Readjusting the sections
Hello. I think the "biography" section should be removed, and its content distributed on other appropriate sections (namely the following one, and the reaction). I remind everyone that this is an article about an event (the death of a person), not about the person themselves, who in this case lack notability (the event however is notable). For reference, please read WP:N and related articles. If there's no opposition, I will proceed to make the adjustments. Ideophagous (talk) 18:43, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- Done.-- Ideophagous (talk) 19:01, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
Name
I dont know much about family of Arabic languages, but I think Zhina and Jina are both derogatory name put on her, either by local media or authorities. The words are similar to Zina. Hysocc (talk) 07:39, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- Farsi & the Kurdish languages aren't Arabic. Jim Michael 2 (talk) 09:53, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- (e/c) According to this, it's a name of Kurdish origin meaning "life". It has nothing to do with the Arabic meaning. Nehme1499 09:57, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
In persian, mahsa ( mah = moon, sa= like) means like moon!

More on the reverted revisions of @HistoryofIran
Hey @HistoryofIran, I noticed that you removed some content by making a change directly, and not discussing it in advance in the talk page. Before you do something like that, you should bring your intents here and let it be discussed briefly. Also, please read Wikipedia:Consensus. Roj im (talk) 15:35, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- The Kurdish transliteration is something new that was added, therefore I am not violating anything. In fact, you are the one violating it. I have already explained my reasoning [1]. However, you are yet to do that. You even put the Kurdish transliteration before the Persian one this time, the sole official language of the country. Care to explain why you did that as well? --HistoryofIran (talk) 15:52, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- @HistoryofIran: I repeat, the revision message is not enough reasoning. You should provide reliable sources. Please refer to Wikipedia:Verifiability#Reliable_sources. I also did not add anything, I just improved the currently existing content. I would not revert your revisions this time, but let a moderator get involved. Roj im (talk) 18:22, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- Provide reliable sources? For what? Sorry, but that’s not how discussions work here, nor real life for that matter; Could you explain yourself? And why you put Kurdish before the only official language of the country? HistoryofIran (talk)
- @HistoryofIran: Could you please give me the ID of the revision where I added any content stating that Kurdish is the official language of anywhere? Roj im (talk) 18:35, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- Huh? I was referring to Persian, you know, the sole official language of Iran? Please re-read my comment(s). Moreover, I am still awaiting an explanation from you. Since you like to attempt to lecture me with guidelines, let me return the favour; please read WP:STONEWALLING. --HistoryofIran (talk) 18:40, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- @HistoryofIran: I assume that you are saying something like "I demoted Persian" or "I promoted Kurdish", and I asked for the ID of the revision where I added some content like that. Also, what explanation do you want from me? That you remove every "Kurdish" you see in the article by specifying the reason in your revision message? This recent revision is enough explanation for anyone. I did not even involve in that section :) Roj im (talk) 19:04, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- @HistoryofIran and Roj im: There's no point in squabbling. Since she has Kurdish background, and her name is known in Kurdish as well as in Persian, I think both can be added. Preferably with Persian first, given that it's the official language of Iran.-- Ideophagous (talk) 19:10, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Ideophagous Sorry, but I disagree. Kurdish has no official status in Iran or anything like that, and her Kurdish background has nothing to do with this unfortunate event. --HistoryofIran (talk) 19:19, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- @HistoryofIran: If you're trying to work with Iran and its official languages, there are around a thousand articles to play with. You may also start by attempting to remove every "Kurdish" you see in the article Saqqez. Roj im (talk) 19:21, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- If you have nothing to say, kindly stop derailing this thread. --HistoryofIran (talk) 19:22, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- It's not about the official status or lack thereof. This is not an article about Iran or an official government body in that country. Since the name in Kurdish is relevant to her background, it can help users find more information about her, and also show up more easily in searches if the name in Kurdish is included. I agree that excessive references to her Kurdish background should be avoided as well.-- Ideophagous (talk) 19:22, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- Sorry, but then why did you change it from 'Iranian' to 'Kurdish'? [2]. I have reverted this per MOS:CONTEXTBIO. Her Kurdish background has nothing to do with his event. So I don't see why her name in Kurdish should be here either. --HistoryofIran (talk) 19:27, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- I copied the old lead from a previous edit, which was changed by an IP. Didn't notice the "Kurdish" part. Ideophagous (talk) 19:30, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

- Thanks for the opinion, @Ideophagous. I actually am not the one who added her name in Kurdish, neither the one who put it to the first. I just saw the removal of it, and I wanted to discuss the matter. Roj im (talk) 19:19, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Roj im (talk) 18:22, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- and while you're squabbling over these minor issues, the article actually needs serious improvement of many of its sections, and should preferably have a background section as well, which explains the situation of women in Iran, regarding hijab law, police treatment, etc.--Ideophagous (talk) 19:25, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- I'm with HistoryofIran on this. She was born in Kurdistan, but she was an Iranian woman. She could have been equally born in one of the other provinces that have their own ethnic groups and languages, such as Lorestan, Mazandaran, Gilan, or Azerbaijan, but she would still be Iranian. And even though many languages exist within Iran, the sole official language is Persian. Not to mention that her ethnicity is totally unrelated to what actually happened to her. Keivan.fTalk 04:18, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- I agree. I just don't see the harm in including her name in Kurdish in the lead for the reasons I mentioned above. Ideophagous (talk) 06:22, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- "Her Kurdish background has nothing to do with his event." - That doesn’t mean that we can't put her Kurdish name in the article. This reason isn’t enough to remove the name. Because if the kurdish name doesn’t affect the article or description of the event then we should keep the name. If anyone want to remove the Kurdish name then they should explain in a logical and correct way that how her Kurdish name can affect the article. Mehedi Abedin 06:42, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- And so why should we exactly add a name that is irrelevant? How come the other explanations aren't "logical and correct"? --HistoryofIran (talk) 09:15, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- The Kurdish name is relevant to her cultural background, therefore it should be added. Any other references to "Kurds" or Kurdish culture, should on the other hand only be included if they're directly relevant to the content. Pushing this too far in either direction (removing all references to her Kurdish background or putting too much of it) is basically inviting vandalism. I would not fault Kurds if they try to modify the article if they see that it purposefully eliminates any mention of her being a Kurdish-Iranian, which is a given fact. But once again, I agree that her being Kurdish is irrelevant to the subject matter (as an Iranian, she would have been subject to the same treatment regardless of her background), and therefore that should not be included for no good reason. The name in Kurdish however is fine to include. This is most certainly not the same thing as including the Kurdish name for someone who has nothing to do with Kurds or Kurdish culture, contrary to what you wrote somewhere above. Ideophagous (talk) 10:19, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- "Her Kurdish background has nothing to do with his event" is what I wrote, which I still stand by. She died due to the hijab regulations, not her Kurdish background. This article is about her unfortunate death, which is notable, not her as an actual person. --HistoryofIran (talk) 10:27, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- ... and her name in Kurdish is still relevant to the article. There's no point in being ultra-nationlistic about this. Just concede this point, and let's move on to more important issues with the article that should be improved. Also please read Wikipedia:Etiquette.-- Ideophagous (talk) 10:32, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- Quite rich that you accuse me of being ultra-nationalistic and then proceed to advice me to read Wikipedia:Etiquette. Feel free to read it yourself and then WP:ASPERSIONS and WP:NPA. When you're ready to have a calm discussion without attacking others, feel free to reply to my arguments. --HistoryofIran (talk) 10:37, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- You've just proved my point. Have a good day.-- Ideophagous (talk) 10:41, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- That made no sense, but sure. And likewise. --HistoryofIran (talk) 10:44, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- Per MOS:CONTEXTBIO: "Ethnicity, religion, or sexuality should generally not be in the lead unless it is relevant to the subject's notability. Similarly, previous nationalities or the place of birth should not be mentioned in the lead unless relevant to the subject's notability."
- Mahsa Amini was a citizen of Iran, born and raised in Iran. Her province of origin is not an autonomous region, nor a federal subject. Her tragic death, according to the sources at our disposal, simply had nothing to do with her Kurdishness. It was all due to the appaling human rights (and in particular, women's rights) in the country. In addition, Iran's sole official language is Persian. Kurdish doesn't hold official status. IMO, adding the Kurdish transliteration to the lede or material about her Kurdish origins diverts (read: WP:UNDUE) from what is going on atm in Iran per the sources; namely a nationwide uprising. It is not a "Kurdish uprising". I don't see any reason to add the Kurdish translit or her Kurdish roots to the lede of this article per these arguments and Wikipedia policies. However, I'm up for adding content about her Kurdish roots (and perhaps even the Kurdish transliteration) to the body of the article. - LouisAragon (talk) 21:15, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- There's absolutely no reason why her Kurdish name shouldn't be included on the infobox, at the very least. Is there any disagreement on that point? Cheers! 98.155.8.5 (talk) 22:32, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Fully protected
I really didn't want to do this to an article being updated so much, but I've fully protected the article for 12 hours due to multi-party edit-warring over whether and how to mention Amini's Kurdish background. @LouisAragon, Pirehelokan, Mitrayasna, Alexcalamaro, Keivan.f, HistoryofIran and Roj im and Semsûrî: Please discuss, and discuss civilly or I'm going to have to start handing out partial blocks or WP:ARBKURDS sanctions. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 19:51, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- Not sure why I am included when I edited the page twice cleaning up the templates and not involved in the disputes. Semsûrî (talk) 19:55, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Semsûrî: Apologies. Lots of diffs. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 21:18, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Tamzin: So I assume we have to reply here? Though I'm not entirely sure who I am writing this for because no one else has responded. To make my stance clear, I simply believe that when including the native name, the official language of the country to which she belonged should be given preference. Thus, in the lede, Persian should come first, as that is the sole official language of Iran. Yes, she was from Kurdistan and could converse in Kurdish as well, but her ethnicity has nothing to do with her tragic death. She could have been born in another province, and her ethnic language could have been Azerbaijani, Gilkai, Mazanderani, Luri, etc. So the Persian equivalent of the name has to be included and has to come first as she was an Iranian woman, but if people insist on including Kurdish too, that would be fine with me personally. As another user pointed out, sometimes we "do this with people from places with regional languages, as Catalan". And hopefully we can get over this trivial issue now, because the article needs improvement. Keivan.fTalk 01:57, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Oh, and if others refuse to speak their mind, then I suppose this suggestion could be implemented (Persian, followed by Kurdish), and anyone who changes the structure of the first sentence again would face the consequences. So please make sure to reply if you desire a different outcome. Keivan.fTalk 01:59, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- I also think this change (inclusion of her Kurdish name) should be made on the infobox as well.
- And for anyone who thinks that her being Kurdish is somehow not relevant, here is something from a recent Washington Post article:
Videos show protesters, some speaking Kurdish, taking to the streets in Kamyaran and Abdanan, near Iran’s border with Iraq. Many of the protests have been concentrated in the west, the poor, predominantly Kurdish region Amini’s family hails from. The Kurds — who speak their own language, have a distinct cultural identity and are mostly Sunni Muslims in a majority-Shiite country — have complained for decades of neglect by the central government.
- Cheers! 98.155.8.5 (talk) 02:13, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Nobody denied that Kurds are being oppressed. At this point, many ethnic groups are being abused in Iran, but the factor that influenced the subject's arrest was her gender and her alleged refusal to conform with hijab laws, not her ethnicity. I think for the sake for simplicity, we can only include Persian and Kurdish equivalents in the lede and don't have them listed on the infobox, as in my opinion it would make it unnecessarily long. But again, let's see what others think. Keivan.fTalk 03:02, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Semsûrî: Apologies. Lots of diffs. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 21:18, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Keivan.f: Thank you for your comment. I do not recall anything in Wikipedia policies about having a name only in the official language of a country. Why the Kurdish spelling of her name should be removed especially knowing that her name was actually Kurdish. The linguistic issue aside, removing the Kurdish spelling is against Wikipedia:neutrality. This is especially crucial knowing the prosecution against Kurdish language. Wikipedia is supposed to be neutral. Wikipedia is not Iran, and Iranian law about languages does not apply. Thanks. Pirehelo (talk) 04:42, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- It is regrettable that at this time when a country is in turmoil, we are sitting here discussing trivial issues that bore no influence on the tragedy that happened to this woman. Yes, many ethnic groups have been prosecuted in Iran and Kurds especially suffered the consequences, yet the subject's ethnicity was not the reason for which she was prosecuted and most probably killed. It seems that some people fail to understand this. This is an issue that is affecting all Iranian women regardless of their ethnicity, religion, or political opinions. As I said earlier, both the Persian and Kurdish equivalents can be included. There's no point in hashing and rehashing the same things all over again. Keivan.fTalk 04:49, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Agreed that the subject's ethnicity likely had very little to do with what happened to her, but as this is a page about her (and her death), it also serves in part as her biography, and therefore is important to include her Kurdish name as well as her Persian name. There are plenty of pages about American individuals, for example, that also mention their Chinese or Japanese names, etc. etc. Seems like it should be uncontroversial to just mention both versions of her name and move on.

- Support Keivan.f proposal to just add in the lead her Persian name followed by her Kurdish one. Also in the infobox (for coherence). My rationale follows all comments made above by Ideophagous. I hope this solution will close the discussion. Alexcalamaro (talk) 05:43, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Administrator note Protection has now expired. It looks like y'all are close to consensus here, if not already there, which is great. To avoid conflict going forward, I have placed a discretionary sanctions restriction under the Kurds and Kurdistan authorization: 1 revert regarding the Kurdish people or Kurdistan per editor per 24 hours. Note that this is a bit narrower than the full "Kurds or Kurdistan" topic area, to avoid a situation where any edit about Amini, even ones unrelated to her Kurdishness, would be caught by the restriction. (That said, I encourage editors to hold to such a restriction even where not required.) -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 08:02, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @Tamzin: @Mitrayasna just reverted your change of adding her name in Kurdish to the info box, and the first lang-ku template. All without previous agreements. Should we re-add the cleanup tag? — Roj im (talk) 09:12, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- That was not my change, but rather Keivan.f's. As an administrator acting here in an administrative capacity, it is not my place to make content decisions. However, in light of the consensus above, @Mitrayasna: I would encourage you to to revert your edit and instead continue this discussion. Please also note that if someone else reverts it, the one-revert rule in place for content on this page about the Kurdish people and Kurdistan would prevent you from reverting in turn in the next 24 hours. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 09:25, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- There is no consensus. Kurdish writing about the name of Mahsa is a subject that has been added. First, there should be a consensus on it, then changes should be made. Mitrayasna (talk) 09:36, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Tamzin: Should we start another poll to re-add "Mahsa Amini" in Kurdish? — Roj im (talk) 09:42, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- I think we have a good enough discussion going here without it being a formal RfC, but that's really up to y'all. What matters is discussing rather than edit-warring, so I'm heartened to see all this. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 09:49, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

- This lady's local name is Jina and her official name is Mahsa. In the case of Mahsa's name, I agree that there should be only Persian spellings, but in the case of Jina's name, there should be both spellings. Mitrayasna (talk) 08:29, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Support adding the Kurdish transliteration to Zhina Amini as a comprise. She was born and raised in Iran, where Persian is the sole official language. Her Kurdishness had nothing to do with her unfortunate death, which is the subject here. --HistoryofIran (talk) 09:40, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
Initially, there was her name in Kurdish. An editor removed it insisting that it was not a necessity. I discussed the matter, we didn't agree, there was a sort of edit warring, then we got a third opinion, we edited it as the third opinion suggested, the warring continued, the page got protected, a poll was started, the poll ended, the article was edited again as suggested by the poll results, the protection went away, an editor reverted the poll suggestions partially by editing the article directly without previous agreements, and then the poll pivoted from "to have her name in Kurdish or not" to "to have only one version her name in Kurdish or both" and "to have her name in Kurdish in the infobox or not". Now I want to know if the partial revert of the poll results by @Mitrayasna was a good thing or not. I think since we all agreed on that, it should be reverted. — Roj im (talk) 10:03, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Was this really neccesary? There is already an ongoing discussion up above. Also, Roj im, you're yet to actually come with a single argument, so you obviously didn't "discuss" anything. You could perhaps start with that. And as Mitrayasna already stated, no WP:CONSENSUS had been made. --HistoryofIran (talk) 10:09, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, I see it as necessary because there is an inconsistency, you tried to move the goal of the original poll, and @Mitrayasna reverted what we all agreed on without previous discussions. Roj im (talk) 10:23, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

- Not only is it unnecessary, it is harmful and confusing
- 1. Mahsa Amini is mentioned in the world sources
- 2. In Iranian sources it is said مهسا امینی and sometimes ژینا امینی
- 3. In local sources, it is mentioned as ژینا and sometimes مهسا
- It can be said that مه هسا has almost zero use Mitrayasna (talk) 10:33, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- You could have said all this before making a direct change. But anyway, I appreciate that you're at least trying to make a point now. — Roj im (talk) 10:39, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- This is not the case at all. Her name is everywhere in Persian and is preferable to other pronunciations. Also, his English name is exactly derived from the Persian pronunciation of the name (مهسا).
- The matching of this girl's Latin name with the Persian pronunciation of Mahsa is a strong reason to write only the Persian spelling of her name. Mitrayasna (talk) 10:16, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Her being Kurdish is also a strong reason to include her name in that format as well. Why is it so problematic to include both? Cheers! 98.155.8.5 (talk) 17:41, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

- It is already mentioned that Saqqez is in Kurdistan Province. Nationality-wise though, she was Iranian. She could have equally been from other provinces that have their own ethnic groups and languages, like Lorestan, Mazandaran, Gilan, or Azerbaijan, but would still be considered Iranian. Keivan.fTalk 04:13, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- I agree, but I have reinserted the Kurdish pronunciation (leaving both), as it is probably how people refer to her. Alexcalamaro (talk) 04:51, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- How come you think that is the case? Please discuss it here first. --HistoryofIran (talk) 09:18, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- She was Kurdish & Iranian, so it makes sense to include her name in both languages. We often do so for people who have an ethnic identity that differs from that of the general national identity. Kurds don't have their own country, but they're an ethnic group who have their own language. Jim Michael 2 (talk) 10:07, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- And there are likewise articles where we don't do that. It's ultimately a matter if it's relevant or not, which clearly isn't the case here, as this article is about the death of Mahsa Amini, which essentially happened due to her gender. I wonder if the same would have been said if she was from Gilan or Lorestan. --HistoryofIran (talk) 10:15, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- Indeed it would be the same situation. We would include the name in the local language that represents her cultural background (assuming it's different from Persian), in addition to the Persian name.-- Ideophagous (talk) 10:21, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- It's relevant to her identity that her name was different in the language of her ethnic group. That makes it relevant enough for the article. Jim Michael 2 (talk) 11:57, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- Agreed! Important and relevant to include. Cheers. 98.155.8.5 (talk) 12:09, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- Sorry, but how do you exactly determine her identity? She was born and raised in Iran. To avoid discussing the same subject in two different sections, please join the one above and kindly reply to the arguments I made there. --HistoryofIran (talk) 14:12, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- Several reliable sources refer to her as a "Kurdish woman" or that she came from a Kurdish town in Iran (e.g. The Guadian, The Washington Post, Reuters). It's not Wikipedia's job to decide the truth, we simply document topics based on sources. As such, adding her name in Kurdish to the lead should be a no-brainer.-- Ideophagous (talk) 15:41, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Mahsa Amini’s father says authorities lied about her death
From CNN:
"Amjad Amini, whose daughter Mahsa died after being arrested in Tehran by morality police, said doctors had refused to let him see his daughter after her death ... 'They’re lying. They’re telling lies. Everything is a lie ... no matter how much I begged, they wouldn’t let me see my daughter,' Amjad Amini told BBC Persia on Wednesday. When he viewed his daughter's body leading up to her funeral it was entirely wrapped except for her feet and face – though he noticed bruising on her feet. 'I have no idea what they did to her,' he said."
Please include a mention of this in the article, perhaps under the "Reactions" section. Currently it says, rather vaguely: "Mahsa Amini's father, Amjad Amini, was interviewed by various international media about his daughter's tragic death and answered the claims of Iranian government officials."
I think this vague sentence should be updated with details from the CNN article, linked above. Thanks! 98.155.8.5 (talk) 11:17, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Replacing "Death" with "Murder/Killing"
Describing her horrible killing as "Death" (which does not suggest the dying being intentional - the story that the Iranian authorities have decided to go by) seems totally unfair. Any chance we could change the title? Nicxjo (talk) 14:50, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- It can be changed if an official source confirms that it was murder/killing. Wikipedia should only include well-sourced information.-- Ideophagous (talk) 14:57, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
- Her killing has been called as such by most sources (Iran Human Rights Group, Jerusalem Post, Radio Zamane, etc.) I hope citing these several credible sources is enough as such event is unlikely to be ever admitted by the government.Nicxjo(talk • contribs) 16:00, 22 September 2022

- @ScottishFinnishRadish: It was the copyvio-ness that tipped me to do something. On that note, I've reworded around more cv from that source as well as cv from [3] and [4].

Remove Navid Zardi from the reactions section
![]() | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
In the reactions sections under "celebrities", the article says that "singer Navid Zardi decided to dedicate the incomes of his next concert to Mahsa's family". While this may be true, this singer doesn't have an article and this claim is cited only to an Instagram post. This doesn't really seem like a reliable source and is unduly promotional, with the line added to get attention for this singer.

Protected Edit Request: Iran's president cancels interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour after headscarf demand
Please add to the article:
- On September 22, CNN's chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour was scheduled to interview Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in New York City, following his appearance at the United Nations general assembly. Amanpour planned to speak with President Raisi about several international issues, including the death of Mahsa Amini and the related protests. The long-anticipated interview would have been the first time Raisi spoke with US media on American soil. Forty minutes after the interview was set to begin and before Raisi arrived, an aide to the Iranian leader made a last-minute request and stated that the meeting would not happen unless the journalist wore a headscarf. Amanpour responded that she could not agree to the "unprecedented and unexpected condition" and later reflected on the situation, saying that "Here in New York, or anywhere else outside of Iran, I have never been asked by any Iranian president ― and I have interviewed every single one of them since 1995 ― either inside or outside of Iran, never been asked to wear a head scarf".[1][2][3]
(In case it's not clear: can just edit & copy/paste the above text directly into the article, wherever it fits best, as this is my own writing and is based on info from the cited sources.) Thank you! Cheers. 98.155.8.5 (talk) 05:57, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Move the name of article from "Death of Mahsa Amini" to "Mahsa Amini"
I created this article and at first it's name was Mahsa Amini but heavy editing by different users changed the name of it to Death of Mahsa Amini. I believe Mahsa Amini is the right name for this article because she is famous not only for her tragic death by iranian morality police but for her own character as she was a young girls like millions of other iranian girls who choose to be happy and free from Iranian government mandatory laws for women clothes. So she was arrested because of her clothes and she got killed in this way and became the symbole of freedom for iranian people specially for women. her name by the hashtag of #مهساـامینی was retweeted more than 15 million times and she is well known not onle near iranian people but also near all over the world. please move the name of article to Mahsa Amini or Mahsa Amini (Jina).

- No, according to WP:N, she's not notable. She's only on Wikipedia because of the circumstances surrounding her death, and as such, only her death is notable.-- Ideophagous (talk) 08:56, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
Zhina/Jina confusion
Both Zhina and Jina are representations of her name in Kurdish with no difference in the pronunciation. Zhina is based on the Romanization of Persian, and Jina is based on Jîna, the same name written in the Kurdish Latin alphabet. The current state of the first paragraph of the article might create a confusion as readers might think their pronunciation are different. I suggest removing the "Jina Amini", and adding its full version next to the lang-ku template.
Like this:
On 16 September 2022, a 22-year-old Iranian woman named '''Mahsa Amini''' ({{lang-fa|مهسا امینی}}, {{lang-ku|مەھسا ئەمینی ,Mehsa Emînî}}), also known as '''Jina Amini''' or '''Zhina Amini''' ({{lang-fa|ژینا امینی}}, {{lang-ku|ژینا ئەمینی ,Jîna Emînî}}),<ref name="ncr">{{Cite web |date=15 September 2022 |title=Zhina Amini goes into coma 2 hours after arrest |url=https://women.ncr-iran.org/2022/09/15/zhina-amini-goes-into-coma/ |access-date=18 September 2022 |language=en-US}}</ref> died in [[Tehran]], Iran, under suspicious circumstances, potentially due to [[police brutality]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=16 September 2022 |title=Iranian woman 'beaten' by police for 'improper hijab' dies after coma: State media |url=https://english.alarabiya.net/News/middle-east/2022/09/16/Iranian-woman-beaten-by-police-for-not-wearing-hijab-dies-after-coma |access-date=16 September 2022 |publisher=[[Al Arabiya]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=IranWire Exclusive: Morality Patrol Beats a Woman into a Coma |url=https://iranwire.com/en/women/107558-iranwire-exclusive-morality-patrol-beats-a-woman-into-coma/ |website=iranwire.com |date=15 September 2022 |access-date=18 September 2022}}</ref>
Also: Hey, @Mitrayasna: Please provide more info on why you did this.

- I have to write her name with international spelling Mitrayasna (talk) 09:21, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Disagree on adding the Kurdish transliteration to the Mahsa Amini name per the arguments up above. --HistoryofIran (talk) 09:36, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- What about only removing the "Jina Amini" as it is a wrong representation and might lead to confusion? — Roj im (talk) 09:37, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Misrepresentation of source
@Roj im: You changed "feminist slogans" to "Kurdish feminist slogans" apparently based on the second source https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Death_of_Mahsa_Amini&diff=1111855277&oldid=1111855068. However, this is what the second source says "“Jin, Jiyan, Azadi” (women, life, freedom), the motto of the Kurdish women fighters.". It does not call "death to the dictator" a Kurdish slogan. Please re-do your edit. HistoryofIran (talk) 09:34, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- The original wording was incorrect that lead to mixing it with "death to the dictator". So I'll just rephrase that, what do you think :) — Roj im (talk) 09:36, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
