Persian ethnicity being added to articles

User:Alihd23 has been, since around 20 March, essentially spamming the ethnicity "Persian" into individuals' articles. Some of these article do have ethnicity in the body of the article, but numerous edits have been WP:UNDUE(with multiple ethnicities presented in the body of the articles) or simple additions to the Lead with no source(s) to support "Persian". Is there anything that can be done?

User:Alihd23 posted on my talk page asking why I was removing "Persian" to which I informed them of MOS:Ethnicity. Clearly they do not care and resumed adding "Persian" indiscriminately. --Kansas Bear (talk) 23:25, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User:Alihd23, instead of answering here, chose to ask me again why I removed Persian ethnicity from the Lead of an article.--Kansas Bear (talk) 22:46, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
