This article is about an Iranian ballistic missile. The article is clearly written from a fan or someone with a pecuniary or otherwise disallowed interest in the matter, which violates WP:NPOV. Alongside this, the article relies on Persian sources, which would challenge WP:MOS. These sources are biased and the majority are from Iranian state-sponsored news sources and agencies, and the author had designed it this way. The article also has a large amount of grammatical and otherwise errors. I would have liked for the article to remain with a NPOV and grammatically correct form, however at this point I believe that it is too far gone. DeadlyRampage26 (talk) 08:38, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep: The article's tone is a little odd, but it's okay to like missiles. Also, googling the subject immediately gives a number of reliable sources, which are also in English:
 * CBS News
 * Bloomberg
 * Reuters
 * Current article may be bad but if it's bad enough to delete the article can honestly just be blanked and restarted as a stub. Maybe delete everything cited to state-sponsored news, condense the rest, and leave it at that? Mrfoogles (talk) 09:06, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * It may be OK to like missiles, I do myself, however that isn't a justification for failing WP:NPOV? DeadlyRampage26 (talk) 09:55, 8 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep as there are plenty of sources. It’s daft to object to Iranian sources about an Iranian missile. Deletion is not cleanup so if the tone and language need to be improved, anyone can go ahead and improve them. Mccapra (talk) 10:03, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep: The concerns above are not relevant to deletion. The state of the article is not WP:TNT-worthy. Aintabli (talk) 10:28, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep: The article's a bit rough around the edges, but deleting it seems excessive. We can probably salvage it with some careful editing and better sources.  Waqar 💬 17:20, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
