Khagani Shirvani Was not persian poet.

Sources seem to indicate that he was. Kafka Liz ( talk) 15:40, 6 June 2009 (UTC) reply

According to [1], [2], [3]He was an Azerbaijani poet-- Orartu ( talk) 19:28, 25 October 2011 (UTC) reply

For every "source" you've provided there are three more in the article that state he was Persian. And riddle me this, if he was "Azerbaijani" then why does he have no works or even a single piece of writing in turkish? You are confusing "Azerbaijani" as a geographic term with modern-day "Azerbaijani" Turks. -- Qahramani44 ( talk) 22:17, 10 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Maryam Steininger is not an academic figure. Read just the beginning of her book. The source of the book is her own collection. In addition, even if we accept what she wrote, it doesn't change Khaqani's situation; For example we can't write Mr. X was a Hamburgian [1] or German [2]!.-- Aliwiki ( talk) 21:56, 15 November 2011 (UTC) reply

I am removing this section partly because of the quatrains' authenticity (this issue is expounded further in the Iranica article), and partly because they are not the most beautiful specimen of the craft of Khaqani. His fame is primarily due to his odes, and as far as I am aware there are no verse translation available. Also, the current translation doesn't do justice. Good prose translations of important segments are available from Minorsky which can be used where relevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Telementor ( talk • contribs) 06:32, 12 August 2019 (UTC) reply
