Piyam → Piyam, Iran – The article name doesn't give the exact idea about what it is. In my opinion it doesn't conform to be a primary topic. There many be other usage of the word "Piyam" also. It would be very appropriate to move it to Piyam, Iran which exactly gives the reader an idea that this article is about a place in Iran. Let's talk about it. — The Ultimate Let's Talk 05:41, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose as unnecessary WP:OVERPRECISION. There is nothing else on Wikipedia named Piyam. Station1 (talk) 08:21, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
- @Station1: : As in WP:PRECISION, see geographic names. Please read the first point; like Bothell is already precise enough to be unambiguous, but we instead use Bothell, Washington (see Geographic names), seeking a more natural and recognizable title. — The Ultimate Let's Talk 10:04, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
- Bothell is covered by WP:USPLACE, which is a particular (sometimes controversial) styling convention that applies to places in the United States but not to the whole world. That convention is not followed for most places outside the U.S. We have Barcelona, Isfahan, Qom, Shonbeh, Tankaman, Tullamore, etc. —BarrelProof (talk) 14:51, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

- Oppose per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic_names)#Iran, which states
Where possible, articles on places in Iran use [[Placename]].
BegbertBiggs (talk) 16:58, 6 February 2020 (UTC)- Oppose as per Station1 and BbB. Mr.choppers | ✎ 04:20, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per Mr.choppers noting that there doesn't appear to be any others, neither GeoNames or Wikidata return any others and its not the purpose of a title to describe the topic but only to give the name and if nessesarry to disambiguate from others which doesn't seem nessesarry here, see User:Born2cycle/Unnecessary disambiguation.
