I suggest merging with Iranian Arabs because there are Arabs outside Khuzestan in places such as Bandar Abbas and of course in Tehran, Isfahan, and other places. The current article title implies a kind of separatist identity or distinct identity from other Iranian Arabs and there is evidence to back that up, so it is POV and WP:OR.

I oppose. Ahwazi Arabs have a unique culture - tribes, language, origin - that is distinct from Arabs in other parts of Iran, although forced displacement has seen relocations to other provinces. I suggest the article be renamed Ahwazi Arabs, as this is commonly known in the media.--الأهواز | Hamid | Ahwaz01:07, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You're back! Thats great yakhi. Hope you stay out of trouble this time. Unfortunately your claims are incorrect. Do you have any sources to show that Khuzestani Arabs are culturally distinct from other Arabs in Iran? Your second point will never happen, not only because your claim is incorrect, but because the term "Ahwazi" as an ethnicity is a nationalist invention. The real Ahwazis are people from the city of Ahwaz. Its not an ethnic term. BTW no news sources uses the term "Ahwazi Arab" - the only ones are those who support or receive information from the exile separatists like Tatchell, UNPO, and I think one report from Amnesty. A source from your professor friend at Shaw is not good enough either. Its an invention, and you will never find any shred of proof that Khuzestani Arabs even identify with this invented term. I don't think you've even been to Khuzestan (where are you from, Iraq?) so this is not surprising that you believe everything you read on the Internet. Anyway the article on Iranian Arabs will have enough room to deal with each Arabic-speaking group. Keeping the article at the current title is pandering to separatism and nationalism promoted by exile groups pretending to represent Khuzestani Arabs. We don't allow that kind of propaganda here. See WP:SOAP. Khorshid04:14, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to and merge the content with Iranian Arabs. We don't have "Azeris of Ardabil" article, we have Iranian Azeris, same standard should be applied here. --Mardavich09:55, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There is 2 million Arab living in Persia(factbook 2007)and Khuzestan has about 7 million inhabitant.
