 * Keep: I don't read Farsi, but this BBC news item (cited in the article) links to an article in Kayhan that it describes as using the phrase "Iran is not just Tehran". I checked some of the other sources in the article and I don't think this one really passes muster (more impressionistic than anything). But this from The Independent (almost certainly WP:RS) and this English-language piece from Iran Book News Agency (unclear if WP:RS, but if we treat it as a primary source it's useful to back up the claim that the phrase is used) do check out. This book published by Princeton University Press also checks out. I think we have WP:THREE here. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 17:13, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep. This is a very catchy phrase that turned out to be used in common speech in Iran after almost 80 years. Even sources in English tend to use it every now and then (Aside from Lonely Planet guidebooks, here are a few examples: The Times, ambassador of Australia to Iran , The Daily Beast , or this recent story from Reuters ), let alone hundreds of Persian-language sources. There are articles for slogans such as Remember Pearl Harbor, Épater la bourgeoisie, Dios, rey y patria for the same reason. Pahlevun (talk) 17:44, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, seems a useful bit of knowledge. Hyperbolick (talk) 19:09, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
