Allameh Tabataba'i University

Firstly this article was mostly filled with copyrighted material taken word for word from its website which was deleted with this diff . It does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. I was unable to find a reliable third-party source or significant coverage of the university itself. According to WP:N and WP:ORG, if no reliable third party sources are found then it should not have an article. If this does not appear to be the case, do let me know and the deletion proposal will be withdrawn. Mbcap (talk) 13:35, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. The nominator was quite right to remove the extensive apparent copyright violation from the article. But it is easy to confirm from independent sources that the institution exists and is an accredited university - and experience shows that there are always enough independent sources on such institutions to write an article giving at least the basic information about them, even if (particularly outside North America and Europe) it can sometimes take some effort to find the sources.
