Does not meet WP:GNG and WP:PLACEOUTCOMES, same xls source as the other Iran AfDs. Hongsy (talk) 14:38, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Reference #1 is the official Census of Iran. If a town is listed on their spreadsheet for this region (#08 in this case), then it's officially recognized per WP:GEOLAND and therefore notable. @Hongsy, is Ganj Konar listed? Checking references is part of WP:BEFORE.

Thanks,

@A. B. - same comment as elsewhere regarding the history of creation of these articles and abadi being explicitly excluded from GEOLAND. FOARP (talk) 10:10, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails WP:V. There is simply no way of verifying the existence of this "village" provided in the article. This is listed in the census as a abadi, which Carlossuarez46 negligently interpreted as "village", when in reality abadi are often just named location around which Iranian census takers count the census, meaning that many of them are actually bridges, pumps, factories, etc. FOARP (talk) 10:15, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. FOARP, thanks for letting me straight about abadis and Hongsy, thanks for your work cleaning up this mess.
