Shahed University, Tehran
Moved from Pages needing translation into English:
 * In Farsi I guess. Thue | talk 16:14, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * It's been 2 weeks, and nothing beyond noting what language it is in. Delete unless someone writes something relevant in English. -- Jmabel | Talk 18:07, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: This was apparently either never listed on vfd or removed out of process, so I'm bringing it to today's page for resolution. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 00:25, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't speak Farsi, but just based on the size of what is there, I'd have to say it's a sub-stub. It doesn't seem that deletion would make much of a difference.
 * Delete, article as it stands is un-encyclopaedic. Megan1967 08:26, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Transwiki or Delete give this mess to the persian wiki. Klonimus 20:41, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's a stub: Farsi is indoeuropean and no one can write an encyclopaedia article of such size in an IE language! :) --Neigel von Teighen 20:42, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, Cleanup, Expand - this appears to be a genuine university, which would make it inherently encyclopedic - and a poor start does not make it unencyclopedic. I restored the tag, in the hopes that it may yet be translated, but if not, we should still have an article in this space. -- 8^D gab 20:48, 2005 Apr 19 (UTC)
 * Yes, and I just found it via the category in the restored template. But you neglected to add a notice on Pages needing translation into English, as that template requires. So all you did was move it into limbo. Speaking as the person who administers Pages needing translation into English: it had its two weeks. No one picked it up. Yes, this is a legitimate topic, but please don't throw it back to us again. In general, in my experience, most articles in Arabic and Persian don't get fixed. You want to write on this topic? Fine, be my guest. Meanwhile, I would rather not clutter that project page with things that are unlikely to be translated. Make it an English stub and keep it? Fine. Delete it as a sub-stub? Fine. But don't send it through the Pages needing translation into English process a second time, it's not fair to those of us who try to keep that moving. I am removing the tag. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:05, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)
