'Keep There is enough coverage for keeping the article. "The author of the Baharistan is more explicit about this tyranny and says that Mirza Haidar was over thrown because of his persecution of the Shias..."[1] Though I don't think the article can stand with the present title, we can discuss title change on the talk page.
