This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Iran. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Iran|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Iran. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.
This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Middle East.

The subject of this article may well be notable but it is largely incomprehensible owing to very poor English. I understand AfD is not for cleanup but I think we’re in TNT territory with this article. Mccapra (talk) 20:39, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: I'd like to remind participants that we are not here to discuss the quality of the contents of the article, but the notability of its topic. The ever-popular WP:TNT essay is not a policy-supported reason for deletion. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Owen× ☎ 21:58, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Iran, Syria, and Turkey. TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 03:54, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: There is a news story by the BBC, from 2014, about the media outlets of the region, but there is no mention of this particular TV station, unless it had a different name before. Hopefully someone familiar with the region can clarify. If we can't find any coverage, I would recommend a redirect to the article of the party that owns the station: the PUK. TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 04:47, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: per above. Little to no independent coverage. The creator of the article is an SPA, who has only shown interest in editing this article, which raises the question of WP:PROMO. Aintabli (talk) 17:56, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apparent memorial page for an Iranian activist based on related or possibly unreliable sources. Holding senior positions in Tudeh does not seem to me to amount to a claim of notability. Mccapra (talk) 02:47, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- 2000 Tehran airport collision (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENTCRIT. Per WP:GNG, "sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability". From what I've been able to find, only primary sources exist on the event with no secondary sources existing on the event. The event does not have in-depth nor sustained continued coverage with coverage only briefly occurring in the aftermath of the crash. No lasting effects or long-term impacts on a significant region have been demonstrated. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 10:14, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Events, Aviation, Transportation, and Iran. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 10:14, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Maybe you are in a region where access to the BBC is blocked: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/628749.stm Thincat (talk) 13:06, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I do have access to the BBC but as noted above, these sources aren't secondary due to there being no analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 13:43, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- We don't know the source of some of the BBC's information: I doubt whether they had a reporter on the spot. Where they tell us what Mazaheri said they are giving us his secondary account surely? But, apart from the secondary aspect, the event may well not be too notable. I found the other claims in your nomination more persuasive. Thincat (talk) 14:44, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- •Merge into Runway Incursion and Tehran Airport Accidents and incidents sufficently covered there. Notable but doesnt warrant its own article as shown by nom @Aviationwikiflight Lolzer3k 18:18, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Correction, * ground collision there is no accident description there, needs to be created. Lolzer3k 18:20, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
