Mass-created article made in violation of
WP:CORPDEPTH
.Together with this article I am also nominating the articles on the following list, all of which appear to have been hoax/spam articles created by Carlossuarez46 using the same template and sourcing, and which Carlos also added to the "Company towns in Iran" category. As such bundling is justified per
WP:CORP
since they are really companies/institutions and they fail that standard. Coverage in Wiki-like sources like Citypedia.ir, Tageo, Geonames or similar sources does not remedy this issue as they are unreliable. GEOnet Names Server is also unreliable for the purpose of establishing a
WP:OR
. Even if the co-ordinates do indicate a village, it is impossible to know whether the village is known by the name in the article.The only exception are articles like
Nuclear Power Plant, Bushehr which are about very notable topics . . . which are already covered entirely by other articles (e.g., Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant
).

Procedural close:WP:TRAINWRECK. It is impossible to conduct any semblance of a deletion discussion with a nomination of 216 (!) articles. This needs to be broken up into much smaller bundles. Curbon7 (talk) 18:54, 1 August 2022 (UTC)]- I do concur that it is more likely than not that they'll all be deleted, so this isn't as strong a trainwreck as, say WP:Articles for deletion/Mayoral elections. Curbon7 (talk) 19:29, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Delete all: I'm skittish to delete 216 articles without taking a look at more than just a few, but I don't want to let procedure get in the way of deleting obviously non-notable articles. Curbon7 (talk) 18:11, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Delete most. Which is to say, delete all if they remain in their current state. If later contributions to this AfD individually identify some of them as having specifically identified additional sources that might plausibly cause them to meet WP:NCORP, then those ones can be kept or separately discussed. Do not break up the AfD into smaller bundles; in their current state, these are all much the same: geostubs, badly created by misinterpreting a database, and in need of either individual attention or deletion. There's no point in making AfD participants repeat the same opinion on them until they are no longer the same as each other. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:15, 1 August 2022 (UTC)]
- delete all If someone identifies individual articles which have been expanded into something with adequate sourcing, fine, they can be kept if they pass GNG thereby. A check of some of fifteen of the more promising names produced only Natanz Steel Plant as having been expanded with sources, so it should be removed from this list and considered separately. The rest should be deleted as we have done so with the other mass-entered Iran census articles. Mangoe (talk) 19:42, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Delete all per David Eppstein. We can’t spend the next decade sifting through all this junk. If any individual articles deserve to be pulled out and saved, great. Otherwise the sooner we get rid of this detritus the better. Mccapra (talk) 19:53, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Delete all as the easiest, most straight forward way to deal with this mess. Yilloslime (talk) 20:12, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
- Procedural comment Most of these pages have not been tagged. I have unilaterally redirected Nuclear Power Plant, Bushehr to Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:02, 2 August 2022 (UTC)]

- Delete all, we do not need to keep these "articles" around any longer with pointless bureaucracy. These are all the same article with the names and numbers scrambled. If one is greenlit to go, all of them should be. —VersaceSpace 🌃 01:27, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Procedural comment I have run AWB to tag all the pages except for Nuclear Power Plant, Bushehr since it has been redirected. I also note that VersaceSpacehad prodded the following pages on 26 July 2022:
- Iran Rubberworks (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Qazvin-Rasht Road Construction Company (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Unity Cooperative Company (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Ziaran Meat Packing Company (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- I have left the prod template up since it wasn't contested. I leave it to other editors to decide to de-prod them or have these articles deleted (since it is close to the 7 days for prods). – robertsky (talk) 01:33, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- I recalled also Ghar-e Rubah Minining Complex and Iran Engineerging Company — notice also that these were misspelled. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 03:29, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- I came here for Defense Industry Complex, Isfahan which was also a page PRODed by VersaceSpace. The deprod was requested by Maometto97 a month back, which I accepted. The user then added more refs. If it needs a discussion, I would like it to be a separate AfD, and not bundled with this. Jay
02:20, 2 August 2022 (UTC) - Comment - Happy to strike Natanz Steel, Bushehr Nuclear, and Defense Industry Complex, Isfahan from the list. I had reviewed Natanz steel and wasn’t sure the sourcing was a WP:CORP pass, but the strike coverage looks fairly notable. For the Defense Industry Complex in Isfahan, I do wonder how they know that the town they are talking about is the same thing as the generically-named industry complex.

- Defense Industry Complex in Isfahan: From the RfU request, I saw that the editor was connected to the place and stayed there for 5+ years. And I had suggested to add more reliable sources. Jay 13:47, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

- Delete all and start from scratch if there is anything worth the effort. Fad Ariff (talk) 11:32, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Delete all, I've seen many of these articles and I've questioned the quality and notability of them. Seems easiest to just start from scratch at this point. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:04, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Delete all I checked a large amount of them and also thoroughly read the nomination rationale and agree with and reiterate every point of it. Also, GNG is not established and the SNG specifically excludes entities invented by census-taking processes. North8000 (talk) 18:47, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- BTW, I didn't see any that has real sources and a real article. If anyone comes up with such they can be (re)created. North8000 (talk) 18:51, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Delete all per burden of proof is on those who want to keep the content. And frankly given the very small amount of content in each it would be easier to start again with the ones that do exist. Hut 8.5 17:44, 3 August 2022 (UTC)]
