The result was delete. Redirects can be recreated at editorial discretion. If Farsi sources support notability, the article can be recreated, but due to the copyright issues about this text probably not from the current text. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 09:53, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Tehran

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (organizations) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Bgwhite with the following rationale "Colleges at major universities are usually notable, but not all. This never should have been proded. Use AfD instead". Well, to that I can reply that declining topics that clearly fail GNG and forcing us to waste time here is what should never been done. Anyway, what we have here is your run-of-the-mill not-notable university department/college. It cites no non-primary sources, and I do not see any work that would discuss it in depth, or even mention it as an important school. With WP:PEACOCK wording like "The faculty is doubtlessly the backbone of veterinary research and education in Iran" this is just (doubtlessly) university-department promoting spam that should have been speedied, not end up wasting our time here.

 * Note Please keep to the facts and not editorialize. Giving out digs doesn't help.  As this is a non-English subject and Iranian to boot, I doubt there would be many English refs.  This needs help of a Farsi speaker.  Bgwhite (talk) 21:13, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
 * delete per TNT. Blatantly promotional, no independent sourcing and actually just copied from their website.  Would need to be rewritten from scratch. Jytdog (talk) 19:47, 5 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect to University of Tehran, or weak delete This might be the only college of veterinary medicine in Iran, so as such is notable. I've often noted that it is important to distinguish between notability and content quality. That said, this one has nothing left if it's a copy-paste and probably no one is going to do a WP:HEY to save it at the moment. We would need Farsi sources to determine importance and content, which no one seems in a position to do now, but preserving the redirect (and probably revdel all revisions due to copyvio) will make it easier to spin out the article into something useful down the road.

 * Considering the copyvio, I'd go for delete and create a fresh redirect to University of Tehran. --HyperGaruda (talk) 07:00, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
