I don't think the assassination is relevant to this article. That and the supposed conversion are more suited to the article for Nizam ul-Mulk. Anyone agree? IrishStephen (talk) 13:41, 23 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Nezamiyeh → Nizamiyya – Per WP:COMMONNAME. Nizamiyya is by far the most common spelling of these institutions' name in English-language sources, including those cited in this article. See also this Ngram (singular), and this one (plural), where the predominance of Nizamiyya(s) over "Nezamiyeh(s)" is very clear.

The institutions were named after Nizam al-Mulk, and English scholarship overwhelmingly refers to them as Nizamiyyas (e.g., the Nizamiyya of Baghdad^[1] or the Baghdad Nizamiyya,^[2] the Nizamiyya of Nishapur,^[3] the Nizamiyya of Isfahan etc.).^[4]

The spelling "Nezamiyeh" reflects modern Iranian Persian pronunciation, which is somewhat anachronistic when referring to medieval institutions of the Seljuk period.

Note also that Nizamiyya was the original article title before being moved to "Nezamiyeh" without prior discussion.
