International Shia Day

I can find no WP:Secondary, WP:Reliable sources for this event in Google News, Scholar or Books. It was deleted on the same grounds in an AFD a month ago, but speedy G4 was declined on the grounds that new sources have been added: I assume that this refers to the article from MarjaeyatTV.com. I can't tell whether this is a video blog or a television channel, and whether it's a WP:RS, but it seems from the lack of widespread coverage of this observance that it's not yet a notable annual observance per WP:GNG.

 * Delete The seventh snippet on the first page of Google says, "May 8, 2016...Discover all important facts about internationalshiaday.com e.g. it was created 20 days ago and is visited by 780 people every month. (websitepart.com/www/internationalshiaday.com)."  I also note that while there is mention in the article of an observance in Washington, DC, the article lists no well-known Washington media reporting the event.  Fails WP:DEL8 (WP:N) and WP:DEL14 (WP:NOTPROMOTION).  Unscintillating (talk) 13:05, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as G4. All evidence suggests that this version is substantially similar to the one that was already deleted. The user is persistently re-creating it and should be blocked. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 03:05, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
