Iranian Parliament's Plan for University Entrance' Sexual Quota

I debated whether to list this at WP:RM or here, but ended up concluding that the phenomenon it discusses is really quite trivial. In most any legislative body, one will find handfuls of politicians making all sorts of proposals. In general, we require these proposals to have advanced rather farther than this in the legislative process - say, a bill (eg, Military Action Against Iraq (Parliamentary Approval) Bill) or of course a law. This is neither - it was simply, as far as can be discerned, an idea bandied about by two individuals. So it doesn't seem notable enough to be kept.

Now for the RM part - if we do keep, the title is terrible. First, it's the Majlis of Iran or Iranian Majlis, not the "Iranian Parliament". Second, all other words in the title should be in lowercase. Third, no apostrophe after "entrance". Fourth, gender or sex, not "sexual quota". Finally, this was not a plan backed by all 290 Majlis representatives - apparently, 288 of them had no such plan, so the title is misleading in that regard. Biruitorul Talk 15:28, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Seems like a violation of WP:NOT (specifically the part about not using wikipedia as an agenda). It also smacks of WP:CRYSTAL. All in all, the info is utterly trivial, by which I mean it wouldn't be notable on its own even in Iran. Dahn (talk) 18:01, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per Biruitorul. If any of the historical background is worth keeping, there's always Higher education in Iran. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 05:17, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - it could become law, at which point, it would be useful article (under a new name); but until then it's a coatrack. Bearian (talk) 19:25, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
