Mirza usage in Persia/Iranian
editWhat the article said seemed wrong to me (from what I remember), so....
My mother is Iranian. Born and raised there. And only moved to Canada (at my Dad's request) after marrying my Dad (who is a Canadian). (So she's an expert on this.)
I asked her and (I'll update the article to reflect that.) --Charles Iliya Krempeaux 22:50, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Mirza was used by polish nobility (szlachta) families, they have (Tatar) origin, but 'sum' is Latin word. It means 'I'm': Polonus nobilis sum - I'm polish nobleman. Polish Murzyn is from Maur (Latin: Maurus, en.: Moors), not from mirza. Sorry for my English. --Kynikos Vodyanoi (talk) 05:02, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Feminine version?
editAnyone know what the feminine of "Mirza" is? As in, "princess"? Is it the same term or a feminine form? I've heard conflicting views on the internet about this, as apparently there are some women with the first name Mirza. --Snowgrouse (talk) 22:37, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

- Because this is not done in wikipedia. Word translations belong to wiktionary. This is English wikipedia, and we usually don't list translations into numerous other languages. - Altenmann >t 21:24, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
Based on the content of the article, I expanded the lead a bit, and listed the names of the states/dynasties that adopted and used the term "Mirza". I should also note that I believe the article is in need of more citations and reliable secondary sources. --Kurdo777 (talk) 12:15, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
History
editthe second para had some uncited text that I removed. It basically just rephrased the history of Mughal india in 8-9 lines that the article could do without. (Rajshahi jela (talk) 10:17, 25 January 2011 (UTC))

– There was an undiscussed cut-and-paste move from this page to the base title, which will need to be history-merged; the disambiguation page was moved to Mirza (disambiguation) via an improper title. Is there a clear primary topic for Mirza? –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 09:08, 13 November 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Clyde!Franklin! 21:42, 20 November 2022 (UTC) — Relisting.

- Administrator note I have restored the dab to its original location at Mirza, since there were no significant edits made after the copy/paste from Mirza (name). That being said, the question is still a valid one as to whether there is a clear primary topic (or not). Primefac (talk) 14:55, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Support. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 21:39, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
- Relisting comment: The "Mirza → Mirza (disambiguation)" part of the move request was just added to this request. In other words, this relist is procedural due to the additional page being listed. Steel1943 (talk) 20:22, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose. The name page, with is not the primary topic. Best to have a disambiguation page at the base title. — Amakuru (talk) 21:25, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
