 * Comment it clear what the nominator means. If the subject is ‘unreal’ why would we merge it to anything. If it’s real why not keep it? Mccapra (talk) 00:22, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. No valid deletion rationale. Along with the sources cited in the article, there's this. buidhe 04:36, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Please check Persian famine of 1917–1919 and Persian famine of 1870–1872. These two are real famines and have been mentioned in many sources, But Iranian famine of 1942–1943.. this is not a real famine. It is only briefly mentioned in a few sources. Also this sources confirmed that only some foods were scarce, not most! If you want to keep this article, then you have to write thousands of other similar articles for Germany, Iran, the Netherlands, the US and the whole world. Please give an expert opinion. This event is not called famine.Personasiran (talk) 13:52, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep per WP:SKCRIT The nominator withdraws the nomination or fails to advance any argument for deletion or redirection Lightburst (talk) 00:45, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. There seems to be sufficient sources for the mentioned article, particularly (based on my research in Persian language sites) I found considerable numbers of related-sites to support the issue. And the event doesn't seem to be a normal problem to be forgotten/ignored easily; and it actually deserves to have an independent page. Ali Ahwazi (talk) 11:17, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep per WP:SKCRIT. Nominator fails to provide a valid rationale while there are many sources, like this by one of leading experts on famine, Cormac Ó Gráda. Pahlevun (talk) 14:50, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Its based on No original research and Notability Personasiran (talk) 16:40, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Nominator's POV. Benyamin-ln (talk) 18:27, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - real event, stub is now better. Bearian (talk)
 * Delete due to lacking independent sourcing. Stuartyeates (talk) 17:47, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep real event. The article still needs some improvements and more details.--SharabSalam (talk) 19:33, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is one historical event in Iran and it is good to be kept. - MA Javadi (talk) 22:50, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per User:Lightburst and User:Pahlevun. Benyamin-ln (talk) 23:36, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - this is a real event. Does not meet speedy keep criteria on the grounds of "fails to advance any argument for deletion" per nominator's follow up vote of oppose above. ~ riley  ( talk  ) 00:07, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
