I would like to request a revision regarding the way Nowroz is described in the article. Initially, the article suggests that Nowroz is a Persian/Iranian new year, but this does not fully reflect its broader cultural significance.
Nowroz is celebrated by many different ethnic groups, cultures, and nations, including (but not limited to) Iranians, Afghans, Kurds, Azerbaijanis, Uzbeks, Tajiks, Turkmens, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and various communities in the Caucasus, the Middle East, the Balkans, and South Asia. While Nowroz has historical roots in different countries such as Iran, it has evolved into an international festival recognized by the United Nations as a shared cultural heritage of multiple nations.
I suggest revising the wording to reflect that Nowroz is not exclusively Persian/Iranian but rather a festival observed by a diverse range of cultures. A more inclusive phrasing would help maintain neutrality and accuracy.
For reference, here are some credible sources:
1. United Nations – International Day of Nowruz
2. UNESCO – Nowruz, an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity
Thank you for your time and consideration. I appreciate your efforts in ensuring Wikipedia remains an accurate and inclusive resource.

1.) So it says that it's the Iranian New Year so I want to request that you guys don't rename it when it's called the Persian New Year. It diminishes the Persians influence especially considering Nowruz has its origins in Persian culture with roots in Zoroastrian. Yes alot of other cultures celebrate it but it shouldn't erase the fact that it's Persian New Year. Even your own citations for "Iranian New Year" shows it as "Persian New Year. Like Haft Sin table, Chaharshanbe, Haji Firuz and others all has its origins in Persian but not the Zoroastrian book. It was the Sassanian empire who spread it to areas that's been ruled by it, even the Mughal empire.
For the second quotation, it should be saying that it has its roots and influences from Persian culture and Zoroastrian. Most of the Nowruz items and things have been of Persian creation or else it would've been mentioned on the Zoroastrian book.
I hate that you guys are downplaying and erasing what Persians gave and did for you guys to rebadge it as another name so everyone can get included. This hurts and insults the people who spread it. You should make it like how the Chinese New Year page is, it's Chinese New Year but other cultures that celebrates it is... as an example
2.) "Nowruz (Persian: نوروز, Iranian Persian: [noːˈɾuːz],[x] lit. 'New Day') is the Iranian New Year.[36][37] Historically, it has been observed by Iranian peoples,[38] but is now celebrated by many ethnicities worldwide"
"The roots of Nowruz lie in Zoroastrianism, and it has been celebrated by many peoples across West Asia,"
"Haft-sin's origins are not clear. The practice is believed to have been popularized over the past 100 years."
https://www.britannica.com/topic/Nowruz ( Shows that Nowruz is basically Persian with most pointing to the Sassanian empire, and that the local Persian population in the Persian regions of Iran after the Islamic conquest did it mostly, that's why only Persians was called fire worshippers and not other groups)
Let me know if you need more explanation or sources. I can say the Avesta as well but it's hard to cite it.
