I've just deleted the prod template, because I believe the site is a notable instance of the social networking phenomenon and it is also specially important because of its relation to the issue of Internet censorship by Iranian government. Indeed, the Orkut article had already been mentioning this site in the Orkut#State Censorship section before I created the page.
Here are a couple of links to external sources mentioning the site (some in Persian).

By the way, [http://www.google.com/search?q=cloob.com searching "cloob.com" in Google] brings up 225,000 pages, and I disagree that it deserves to be titled non-notable.
