ISIRI 13139

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article pertains to a law in Iran, which does not appear to be very notable, as it is a law regarding towed machinery. Phearson (talk) 04:17, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * This is a standard used for importing goods (tractors) to Iran. All tractors must pass such standards in order to be imported. It is very important indeed. BTW, It is also compulsory for all tractor factories in Iran to consider it in their products. Therefore it is very important to provide a reference for those who are searching such standards and guide them to the appropriate sources.  *** in fact  ***   ( contact )  04:54, 26 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete, I can't see how a law about towed machinery in Iran would be encyclopedically notable. It is not Wikipedia's job to provide references for companies importing tractors to Iran, Wikipedia is not a free web host. Surely these companies can look up the laws on the cited EU law sites or some other sites about law in Iran? J I P  &#124; Talk 14:03, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * If it's an export/import issue, then it is internationally notable. *** in fact  ***   ( contact )  16:07, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep, as I really believe that it deserves to have its standalone article just like any other standard in any field. *** in fact  ***   ( contact )  08:39, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Article looks useful. I believe there are articles on cell phone standards so why not this?  --Khodabandeh14 (talk) 15:30, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, per above. I wrestled with this a bit, but when one considers all the pop junk, we probably should have a serious article once in a while. I wouldn't mind seeing it as part of an umbrella project. --UnicornTapestry (talk) 01:48, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 *  Keep: agree with "In Fact". Spada II ♪♫ (talk) 08:03, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Article on a national industrial standard is notable should be kept. Reaper Eternal (talk) 15:54, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I am not an expert of this field but the article is notable as it's a national standard.--Aliwiki (talk) 17:53, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment If it is decided to delete ISIRI 13139, why not ISIRI 13137 and ISIRI 13136 and ISIRI 13nnn? There are many more Iranian standards than just this one. I would wonder how far it is desirable or even possible to have numbered standards for thousands of matters for hundreds of countries. So, I cannot say delete, but I would ask where Wikipedia is headed on the general question. --DThomsen8 (talk) 20:08, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. What would be the problem with having articles on standards for thousands of matters for hundreds of countries? We are not running out of space. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:15, 28 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep Notability is weak but established. However, I encourage a discussion of a potential merge of all of these standards into Institute of Standards and Industrial Research of Iran or their own list. If there are tons of them and each only really has a few sentences of information, it would be much more efficient and informative for readers to have them organized in one article.--Yaksar (let's chat) 09:40, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I have already thought about it. Each ISIRI**** deserves to have its standalone article just like ISOs or European Union directives, and of course there could be a main article ( List of ISIRIs ) to join them . Examples: List of ISO standards or List of European Union directives. Regards, *** in fact  ***   ( contact )  11:35, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I just created List of ISIRI standards. *** in fact  ***   ( contact )  13:16, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * It's not about whether they "deserve" their own article or not. The point of Wikipedia isn't do have as many articles as possible, it's to be an encyclopedia. If each entry has only one or two sentences, it may very likely be easier for readers and researchers to have all the information in one list.--Yaksar (let's chat) 00:17, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The main list has just the name of each standard including its category. ( just like ISOs and EECs, which I already mentioned.) I believe there should be no difference between standards. *** in fact ***   ( contact )  13:22, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Good idea. --DThomsen8 (talk) 23:53, 3 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep ; When there is an article about PD 5500, then why not about this one?--Alborz Fallah (talk) 08:55, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Listing all the laws and regulations of countries is something very fitting for Wikipedia. There is no shortage of space.   D r e a m Focus  05:01, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
