Masha-ye Ashayiri Shomareh-ye Do

And also: "Masha-ye" (مشاع) appears (based on machine translation) to mean "community of". It is therefore used in the Iranian census to identify a location where the census has counted people for which they have no handy name. For example the title of this article translates as "Nomadic communities number 2" - apparently somewhere the census-takers counted nomads, who by definition do not live in a legally-recognised place. This is therefore a WP:GEOLAND#1 fail, as well as being a WP:GNG fail due to the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources.

Other items on this list appear to be just neighbourhoods within larger communities (e.g., the numbered communities within the "Rural District" - really a village - of Jahadabad such as "Masha-ye 33 Jahadabad"). Some are just places referred to by their location (e.g., "Masha-ye 7 Posht Kuh Do Sari" which means something like "Community number 7 behind Dostari mountain"). These are not in any sense real places, but just creations of the Iranian census, and therefore fail WP:GEOLAND#1. They are all sourced only to the Iranian census and therefore WP:GNG fails.

Bundling is justified per WP:BUNDLE as these are spam/hoax articles created by the same author according to the same template.

Now that I've got AWB approval I plan to template all the articles in the list, but it may take me a day or two to do it so please have patience.

PS- you might think that 35 articles is a lot, but please remember that Carlossuarez46 was creating these articles at a rate of up to 100 or more per day. Deletion has to keep pace with mass-creation, otherwise we are allowing mass-creators to establish a fait accompli. Similarly WP:BEFORE as to be proportionate to the original work that was done to confirm the notability of the article that was created, which in this case was zero, otherwise again we are simply permitting a fait-accompli.

 * Delete all it's unlikely that these are villages. Although I think Google Translate is incorrect in translating "rural district" as village - Jahadabad is a district (https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6556940) possibly named after a locality (which even GeoNames doesn't say is a populated place https://www.geonames.org/6963671/jahadabad.html); it looks like the largest village there is Dow Sari.
