Sexual life under the Islamic Republic of Iran
The article doesn't make any sense, it's inaccurate, has brough up discussions and is sibject to a war between editors! Hooman 16:39, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. The article definitely does make sense. None of the other reasons given: being inaccurate, having brought up discussions, and being subject to a war, is a valid reason for deletion. I think the title could be more neutral; the word "under" by itself suggests oppression. Lambiam Talk 23:32, 23 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete - Well-written nonsense! Not at all relevant, and I can't think of anybody who would want to refer this article in an encyclopedia. We're not here to write about sexual life of people in various countries!! Shijaz 18:45, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Speak for yourself. We are here to produce an encyclopedia, and the only criterion that is relevant is whether this topic belongs in an encyclopedia. Provided it is interesting and properly sourced, an article on "Sexual life in the United Kingdom" (if such a thing exists) should be equally welcome. Lambiam Talk 23:32, 23 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete - Original research and POV fork. --ManiF 01:59, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
 * POV fork of what exactly? There used to be a brief section "Sexual relations in Iran" in the article Culture of Iran, stating: In Iran flirting and mixing between the opposing sexes is viewed even now as taboo. But with a rapidly changing society we are seeing changing views. But that was deleted on March 3, 2006 by User:Amir85 with edit summary Revert vandalism. Lambiam Talk 07:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
 * A big unrealistic claim with no source. Amir85 11:50, 28 April 2006 (UTC)


 * DELETE for same reason as Shijaz --Khalid 16:31, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and mark for cleanup. There's material here I wouldn't like to see lost, but it certainly needs less POV and more wikification. --Cedders 23:18, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep legitimate topic for an article. This one can be improved (as could all articles) but deletion based on the charges brought would be wrong. Carlossuarez46 23:28, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as per above. Lambiam Talk 11:04, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete, per nominator--Ya Ali 18:20, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, and mark for cleanup. If more information with better sources is added, the article will be very interesting for anyone who wishes to know how the Iranian Goverment interprets Quaran on this matter, and how it actually works in practice. -- H eptor  talk 13:58, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless cleaned up. Currently a haphazard mess of an article. Stifle (talk) 16:13, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, Why keeping an article which doesn't have a single credible source, full of personal thoughts and claims. Amir85 11:50, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
