@Rye-96: Does this article really need to be separate from Persian literature? It seems to me that the content is largely overlapping, with this article giving slightly more notice to Iranian-language-family languages that aren't Persian, like Baloch and Ossetian. However, it doesn't really delve deep enough into them to justify having a separate article at this time–most of the content here is still about Persian literature. Some solutions that come to mind are:
Turn this article into a disambiguation for pages about literature corresponding to members of the Iranian language family, and merge existing content into each relevant article.
Include stubs about each relevant language in this article with "Main" links going to the parent article for each section
@Rosguill: Yes, it does. And no, the content does not and is not supposed to overlap that of the Persian literature article. Actually, of the eight paragraphs that this article contains so far, only two are on Persian literature, and the rest are discussing the literary developments of other Iranian languages, which are more or less related and originate from the earlier stages of the language family. The Persian literature article, as indicated by its title, is supposed to cover information on the Persian language, and not that of Avestan, Sogdian, Khontanese, Ossetian, Kurdish, Pashto, or Balochi. For the same reason that the German literature article cannot cover the literary traditions of the Germanic languages collectively. —Rye-96 (talk) 19:14, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I see, in that case this article can stand alone, although I'm going to add a disambiguating hatnote that clarifies this article's subject along the lines of what you've written above. signed, Rosguilltalk19:57, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
