There have been significant changes / content removal from :Asoristan by a new editor. If somebody could look them over, and evaluate, that would be great. -- Whpq (talk) 18:56, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Starting this July, we will see a new contest on the scene - the Developing Countries WikiContest (WP:DCWC)! Think of it as a WikiCup but only for articles and media on developing countries.

Competitors may submit GAs, GTs, FAs, FTs, FLs, FPs, and DYK and ITN entries from/on developing countries to gain points and climb the leaderboard. Points are also awarded to those who review GAs, FAs and FLs.

Iran is listed as a developing country for the purposes of this contest and articles related to it are eligible to be submitted for points, so I encourage everyone here to sign up and compete with editors from around the world to create high-quality content!

Append your name to the DCWC signup page today!

Could someone from this WikiProject take a look at :Afsaneh Salari and assess it per :WP:BIO? The article was originally submitted as a draft to :WP:AfC, but was declined. The creator then moved essentially the same declined version to the mainspace themselves, but it was draftied for the reasons given at :User talk:Mr.izadpanah#Draftification of Afsaneh Salari. The creator then moved it back to the mainspace. I asked an administrator who posts at :WT:AFC about this at :User talk:Primefac#Afsaneh Salari and it was suggested that :WP:AfD would need to be next step if the subject doesn't meet :WP:N. :WP:BEFORE doing that, I'd thought I see whether anyone else feels this :WP:NEXISTS and just needs better sourcing (perhaps even sources not in English). -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:17, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Ali Tajernia needs attention. All of the sources are currently in Persian, and he was born in 1348, which I assume is in the Iranian calendar. Snowman304|talk 10:47, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello! There's a Persian related film up for deletion and it looks like if sources do exist, they are not in English. Can someone take a look? The film in question is Nations Cultures. There's possibly nothing out there, but worth asking. Part of my reason for reaching out is that the film might not be called the same thing in Farsi, as I tried finding the film by using Google Translate and found nothing substantial.

It seems that we used to capitalize "Province" a lot where "province" is the more appropriate per guidelines such as WP:MOS. The titles of Iranian province articles were all fixed nearly 3 years ago per Talk:Alborz province#Requested move 24 January 2022, but there are still tons of uses, links especially, that are unnecessarily capitalized. Any objection to getting a bot working on fixing those? See discussion at Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Tasks#50K articles with over-capitalized "Province" for my proposal to do this as an AWB task. Dicklyon (talk) 16:26, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

I'll take this as "no objection" to lowercase "province" generally, via bot fixing, unless someone responds soon that I should give it more time. Dicklyon (talk) 05:12, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

:There are comments @ Talk:Fourth_Fitna concerning the "Notes" section that might be of interest to editors here. -- Otr500 (talk) 12:36, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Concerns

This is a problematic biography (many exaggerated claims, possible historical hoax). But there are some technically reliable sources, it's not a wiki hoax. We are improving his article on pl wiki. One of the sources claims that "he was recognized as a national hero in Persia". He has no Farsi or Arabic Wikipedia articles. Can anyone dig out anything about him in these languages? (I worry most of his life is a falsification by some Polish semi-amateur historians...). See also his bio in English language Encyclopædia Iranica (not sure how reliable that is?): https://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/borowsky-isidore _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:50, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

I recently stubbed this (latter link, first is about a different topic); it seems to be a candy popular in Iran too (I initially based this on articles about Uzbek candy, which seems to be the same concept, just a bit different name). AFAIK Novvot seems to be the Uzbek word, Iranian is nabat. I am not sure which is more popular, but I found Uzbek interwiki - no Iranian to link. If there is Persian/Farsi or Arabic article, I'd appreciate if someone could connect it. Feel free to expand/improve the article. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:10, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello,

Can someone confirm that this film was released and/or screened? Do you think it is notable? Thanks! -Mushy Yank. 08:38, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi! The Old Hezarjarib article is one of the oldest orphans on the english Wikipedia. I tried to de-orphan it but I have a some doubts. Please see the Talk:Old Hezarjarib - Mazandaran page for the discussion. My gut feeling is that the article should be merged with Hezarjarib District but in the absence of references I cannot be sure. Can someone shed some light? Thanks!

The article :Jam-Abad has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced and unimproved for over 15 years. No reliable sources online Google; the names in title and in lead paragraph don't match. Created by SPA.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello everyone,

I’d like to kindly request feedback from members of WikiProject Iran regarding the article Hamzeh Najafimehr, which is currently under deletion discussion. The article has been significantly improved with coverage from major Iranian and international media (e.g., IRNA, ISNA, Hamshahri, Khabar Online, Verna Magazine), as well as international invention awards (Geneva, Seoul, Thailand) held under the supervision of WIPO.

If you have time, your input as neutral editors would be greatly appreciated:

Thank you very much for your time and support.
