Seems unsourced and oddly put together, with bad references and weirdly placed Commons and Instagram links. I like Astatine (Talk to me) 16:16, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep While the article is a mess that needs a good cleanup, it is a populated place found on the US Military's GeoNames server, plus, it has legal regonition from the government of Iran, meaning it passes WP:NPLACE. I'd be happy to clean it up if it isn't deleted. TheManInTheBlackHat  (Talk)  17:06, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:GEOLAND, since as per TheManInTheBlackHat it seems to real and have official recognition (I was curious if there were any more sources and Evaluation of water quality trends in the Maroon River Basin, Iran, from 1990 to 2010 by WQI and multivariate analyses. mentions it so it seems real). It definitely needs clean up. I'm a bit confused why the nominator reverted significant clean up--all that was remaining before that revert was to remove most of the photos to better meet what is expected for an article such as this.

 * Keep per TMITBH - passes WP:NPLACE. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:50, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep as per WP:GEOLAND. Yes it needs clean up, but if it has been confirmed to be a real place then the article should be kept and cleaned up rather than deleted. Fad Ariff (talk) 13:02, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * keep but needs a lot of cleanup. GeoNames is less reliable than GNIS, but the census entry and a visit to GMaps to ensure there is a town there is sufficient verification and meets our standards for notability. Mangoe (talk) 03:56, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
