 * Speedy keep. "Unsourced" is not a valid reason for deleting an article. sovereign°sentinel (contribs) 11:30, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. The intended topic of the article is fairly certainly notable, even though legendary - the earliest known western account is by Marco Polo, it standardly appears in traditional accounts of the Assassins, and is already covered on Wikipedia at Alamut. However, I can find no English-language sources that refer to this garden as Firdous e Bareen except apparently in relation either to the Urdu historical novel or to the song mentioned in the article under discussion.

 * Keep - I really can't understand why this wasn't speedy closed sooner as it's blatantly obvious BEFORE wasn't even followed, Anyway [Google news brings up a few books] so I'd say notability's there. – Davey 2010 Talk 22:50, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak keep simply because this needs familiar attention and along with the Books links, there are passing mentions with News and browser. Although this isn't as much improvement as it could be because basically these mentions are through those novels and not much else, this will need better attention and it's known Middle Eastern subjects aren't always immediately subject to this.
