 * Move to user space This topic is clearly notable. It's just that the article needs some work to get it to the right tone/format to be here. Send this one to user space to allow the user some time to work on it. agt x  00:22, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - I'd prefer moving to userpace but it'd just get bigger and bigger and it won't ever be improved beyond what it is now, So personally I think it's better to Blow it up & start over from scratch. – Davey 2010 Talk 00:43, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Userfy - Meh perhaps I was harsh, Who knows someone may improve it and if they don't the creator hopefully can so meh Userfy. – Davey 2010 Talk 23:49, 19 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Userify -- At presetn this article starts with the origins of Iran. This is too far back.  It should start with the usual lead section, summarising the article.  This should them be followed by a brief narrative of the use of photogrtaphy in Iran.  The auther needs to concertrate on providing sources and making sure they are accurately cited.  The subject is potentially a significant one, but the article needs more work before it is readdy to go into main space; and I do not mean making it longer.

 * Userfy with encouragement and warning. It's a highly worthwhile subject. But a quote from the article (started July 2015): "During the 1880s the camera leaves the confines of the palace." And a quote from "Editorial" (by Reza Sheikh and Carmen Pérez González, published 2013): "Through a trickle-down process, the camera leaves the confines of the palace." I don't think that the resemblance is coincidental. -- Hoary (talk) 22:59, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
