Non-notable movie theater. This article has existed since 2011, and nobody appears to have found sources showing its notability. My city has movie theaters too, but they are not notable. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:32, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notable film theater, from a historical and architectural point a view (and in the history of both Iranian film and Tehran society). Someone appears to have found sources showing it is notable and added them to the page today. See for yourself. Film theaters in the city where the nominator lives may not be notable but this one is. :D. So, Keep!-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 17:43, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The quote from The Politics of Iranian Cinema is evidence of notability. I also found a mention in a Boston Globe article about a politician: "He reopened Azadi cinema, a famous theater which had been burned down by hard-liners and closed for over a decade." That quote backs up the claim that the theater is "famous", and that there's a political story that may be documented in other sources we haven't found yet.
