Notability not established, article appears to be AI generated (both from the style but also I ran it through multiple AI detectors which almost universally agreed it's 100% AI) and the creator of the page was indefinitely blocked for plagiarism issues. Article survived a previous PROD but the basic issues remain. Perhaps a WP:TNT solution is possible if notability can be established from academic literature (and the Persian Wikipedia article on the same seems like it might be possible?) but as it is right now this is just failing to meet basic encyclopedic standards.

Redirect to Persian calligraphy, which is a viable and relevant target, as an ATD. This "calligram" article does not meet notability criteria as an art movement or style at this time. If I remember correctly, there were problems when it was first created - I'd have to look into the history, but it may have been a COI creation (in addition to the copyvio problems).

Delete as per nom, although a redirect is acceptable. Bearian (talk) 19:32, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If AI, redirect, but use a couple of the images in the target article. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:51, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with @Randy Kryn, that if it is redirected, add an image or two to illustrate the style. Netherzone (talk) 01:14, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
