Misleading article. There's nothing called Persian well, subject actually refers to Persian wheel and is a WP:Content fork of that article. Kalhana's Rajatarangini is not ancient, it was written in 12th century and, by that time, this mechanism was already popular. The Doom Patrol (talk) 13:27, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

• Redirect to Saqiyah: Per nominee - This is essentially a duplicate topic and the other article/name seems to be much better supported in the literature. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)^{Talk to Me!} 15:24, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

:*{{u|ThadeusOfNazereth}}, the problem with redirecting is that this name is non-existent. There's nothing called "Persian well", you can Google it. The article creator just put a name to the wells in which Persian wheels are used. There's nothing special about the well.--The Doom Patrol (talk) 09:28, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

:*:Would that not just be a redirect from the incorrect name? It seems like a reasonable enough search term to me. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)^{Talk to Me!} 11:47, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

• Redirect per nom and ThadeusOfNazereth. --cyclopia^speak! 14:41, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
• Redirect per above; given the context, "well" is an understandable misreading of "wheel". ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:06, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
