List of Iranian people by net worth

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is currently a list of one person. Even if it was to expand by 300%, it would still be a pretty useless list to maintain on Wikipedia. It also receives significant edit warring over the introduction of billionaires who are neither Iranian citizens nor born in Iran (e.g., Pierre Omidyar) but who have Iranian heritage (yet are not themselves Iranian).

 * Weak keep-- just for the fact that we DO have such articles for other nationalities. Obviously it needs tremendous expansion, and I find these articles in general to be unhelpful listicles. But, I don't think we can fairly delete one for Iranians and keep those for Americans and Indians by net worth. Unless of course there are simply NO sources which list multiple Iranians in regards to net worth. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia  ᐐT₳LKᐬ  17:40, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
 * At present, this can be solved by the removal of the one remaining list member, who is actually a British citizen who lives in Monaco and has not lived in Iran since before the revolution, when he was a young child, and is British-educated. If there are no Iranians (by residency as adults, or by current citizenship) who are verifiably billionaires, there is no need for the page. It comes down to the definition/interpretation of "Iranian" in the title. As it stands, the title ("Iranian people by net worth") is deceptive, since it does not specify that only billionaires should appear in the list.  There are plenty of notable Iranians, but there has been no effort (and there are probably few resources) to catalog them by their net worth.  General Ization  Talk  19:22, 3 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete with no prejudice against re-creation of an improved article. This isn't a reasonable encyclopedia topic right now.  The only potential entrants based on current references are long-time expats or people of Iranian heritage.  And unlike the lists of Grammy nominees or Nobel prize winners, there's no sense in which the list is "complete" to justify being this short.  If it were a list of Iranian billionaires it *might* be feasible to keep this with one entry. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 19:46, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. Given there is just one name on the list. Ajf773 (talk) 18:56, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
