 * Weak Keep. I've found two sources discussing the magazine and its banning by the Iranian government, such as the Human Rights Watch currently cited in the wiki article and page 25 of the Abdorrahman Boroumand Center for Human Rights in Iran. The Iranrights.org source also reveals the magazine was talked about in a testimony by Ali-Ashgar Ramenzanpour, a news director for Iran International, and reveals the magazine had 300,000 readers according to that testimony. Havades is also mentioned in this book as an example of the widespread banning of and violence against press under Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani's presidency. This is giving me a good sign, but other sources I've found in my searches use the word Havades for different things, not to discuss this magazine. If I lived in a Middle Eastern country (which I don't want to), more sources would probably come up about this topic, but I live in the US. 👨x🐱 (talk) 21:20, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep per 👨x🐱. The very fact that this publication fell victim to Iranian regime's censorship is sufficient to establish its notability. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 19:11, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
