Iranian Mexicans

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unverifiable and dubious. Title is a neologism. Pretty much the only things I can find on Google/GNews/GBooks are this Worldnetdaily piece [ http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=44531 ] about Iranians using Mexico as a transit point for illegal immigration to the US, and this one  (Spanish) about how Iranians who want to go to the US to visit their Iranian American relatives but can't get visas instead go to Mexico to hold their family reunions there; it also mentions that fewer than two thousand Iranian citizens live in Mexico. Cannot find anything which confirms the contents of this Wikipedia article or attests to the notability of this migrant population.

 * Delete Completely unsourced on its claims (concentrated up north, they're mostly Shi'ites, etc.). Iran is a large nation, and it's not surprising that some of its emigrants would end up in Mexico, but don't write an article unless you have something to back it up.

 * Endorse deletion- This is probably the dumbest thing to make an article on,that is like me making an article on a random mixed ethnic group like Russian-Canadians.Xx1994xx (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 23:37, 10 November 2008 (UTC).
