Ain Ali

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

These 22 articles were created by in 2009 based on a single unreliable source, Tageo. These pages were not updated when mass-created Iranian places based on the 2006 census, or when  added the site Citypedia.ir to references. Neither of those is RS for the purposed of WP:NGEO, but their omission in a fairly comprehensive schema increases doubt about the existence of these places under the names provided by Passportguy. My motive for bundling these is the outcome of Articles for deletion/Khoda Kandi, which dealt with another article of this type.

 * Delete all Wikipedia is doing a terrible disservice to the dissemination of knowledge with these geostubs. My heart sinks when I search for sources and see just reams of Wikipedia mirrors. I haven’t found any reliable sources for the ones I checked and I think we should purge as much if this mass-created junk as possible. Mccapra (talk) 19:36, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect Kalash, Ardabil; delete all others. Hurand is a duplicate of Hurand, but it's in East Azerbaijan province, not Ardabil. Kalash is the same as Kalash-e Bozorg, and can be redirected. Kalar-e Sofla is probably combined with Kalar-e Olya to form Kalar, Ardabil. Boyuk Khanlu seems to be a neighbourhood of a city. The others are probably duplicates or not populated places - and the source is not reliable. Peter James (talk) 12:56, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - Unreliably sourced, no evidence of notability or verifiability. –dlthewave ☎ 03:42, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
