Alborz Qazvin F.C.

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Part of a large series of unreferenced micro-stubs about football teams in Iran which have not received significant coverage or played at a national level in order to meet notability guidelines. c.f. Articles for deletion/Ara-e Gharb Kermanshah F.C.. This nomination covers a total of nine articles, for which I believe identical deletion criteria apply. C 679 08:52, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete all - no evidence of notability. GiantSnowman 10:26, 18 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - they play in one of the divisions of Iran's football league. We similarly maintain articles about minor league teams for baseball and even tier 3 teams in the Premier League.  This is the equivalent of that. Kabirat (talk) 06:29, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete What passes notability in the English speaking world of football maybe different to the Arabic world. Because of the closed doors policy in Iran, it's hard for us to clarify what exists in football in Iran, a number of clubs don't play football anymore, some have been closed down for being a western sport! So majority of Iranian football does fail notability and we can't even asses it's notability. Govvy (talk) 12:30, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete all - none of these clubs has played at a level where notability is inherited (WP:FOOTYN), and they all fails the general notability guideline. Mentoz86 (talk) 20:37, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - no indication that any of these clubs meet WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:46, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete No WP:SIGCOV and are not in a recognized fully professional league. The single keep argument reaches for WP:OTHERCRAP. Mkdw talk 05:03, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
