I added a paragraph about the story of Rostam's birth. This is a well known story. I have taken this paragraph from Caesarean section.Shabdiz 08:30, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Added a small paragraph about the references made to Rostam in PoP: Sands of Time, a popular PC game. Noticed these while playing the game, did a little research... yeah.—Preceding unsigned comment added by The Blue Meanie (talk • contribs) 05:32, 25 March 2007
Is Rostam used as a contemporary name? If so, how widespread is its use? To give some background, I know of an identical name used by the Javanese. It could be just a sound-alike, but there's a possibility that they're related. — Gareth Hughes 17:52, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
I think this is the right name here; it is widespread, it sure is, as can be seen on at least vife other wikipedia's, just the way as Donia the Great is! It is a name that'll remain the articles name for a long, long time. I don't see no other alternative. The other Javanese-name ain't no commonly known name; it probabably is just the same, but a last name can be found there. Perhaps, you can search for the name, and create a redirection-page to it? -)-(-H- (|-|) -O-)-(- 19:27, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
Rostam is not used much in Iran as a public name, yet, in some ext soviet union countries, the name is frequently used, as "Rustom".
im living in iran and ive heard this name alot most in Zoroastrian —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.186.194.236 (talk) 07:26, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
I think Rustam might have been a person or a solider or whatever in history, he is famous because of an Iranian myth a folk story about Rustam and his son Sohrab. Even if Rustam actually existed it was prehistoric and not during the time of Ali which is just 1400 years ago, he might have lived during the days of Darius or Alexander or even earlier. It appears that in this page the Myth is being made reality. Moreover, any story related to prophet Muhammed (SAW)or his cousin Ali should based on strong references.
In the intro it says
Does "His figure" refer to Rostam or Surena? Was there a "historical personality of Rostam", i.e. a real person of that name? If so, what do we know about him, and why does the rest of the article not talk about him? "The latter" seems to refer to this historical personality, and what are the "episodes in which he features"? AxelBoldt (talk) 00:10, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Why do you keep writing the adjective "Persian" regarding heroes and stories of Shahnamah? Ferdowsi treats "Persian" as only a language, and uses Irani, Zabuli (Specifically for Rustam) etc. Sources of stories in Shahnamah are basically old Iranian stories and cannot be thought of as Persian folk tales. Avoid using wiki pages as ground for promoting ethnic ideals, this is a disgusting behavior.حضرت محمود (talk) 19:38, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
Someone that want to add a bit about the kurdish version of Restem Zal? Cause according to the Shah-Name, he was persian. But the epic stories of Restem Zal has existed long before the Shah-Name was written, Kurds claim Restem to be Kurdish while Afghans claim him to be Afghan. I surely don't think that the Restem-person/character was alive during the Arabic invasion of Persia, he is probably much older than that. I think it would go as far as during the Median Empire, probably a warrior of them, or a time were the Aryan people lived very close to eachother, they were maybe even one single people that splitted into Kurds, Afghans and Persians. If he was alive during this Aryan people era, then it explains why all of the different people claim Restem Zal to be of their origin.

I think it’s probable that Rostam is not the name of a person but the name for role of family head and maybe zaal was also the name referring elder/previous head/counciler 31.2.135.39 (talk) 09:18, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
I think it would be more accurate to clarify that Zabulistan was a territory including Ghazni and Zabul, not just Zabul. Sometimes Zabul was even considered synonymous with Ghazni. 2A02:8428:809E:6701:E4ED:5B5E:1EEB:E8EB (talk) 05:19, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
