Taraneye Madari

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsourced article about a (television ?) series. No evidence of even minimal notability. - MrX 20:56, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - evidently it is a TV series, or perhaps it is a series of online videos. I could not find sources to tell me which.  All "sources" found were online video sharing sites and the like.  No coverage in reliable sources found.  Fails WP:GNG.    78.26   (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 18:15, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * The Persian Wikipedia article says that this was broadcast on IRIB TV3. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:04, 18 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Fails WP:GNG. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 12:15, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a television series and obviously you won't find enough links if searching using Google from US. Iranian editors may help. --Basji (talk) 13:43, 15 June 2013 (UTC) — Basji (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete. No indication that it meets WP:GNG, and I can't find any sources either. The article was created by an editor who has made no edits other than to create this article; the article about the main actor was created on the next day by another SPA with a very similar name, as an unsourced BLP. When that article was PRODded, the creator added bogus sources which were unchallenged until just now. Seems like an attempt to promote a non-notable actor and television series. --bonadea contributions talk 08:46, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Mine is not a SPA account and have no relation with the person who created the article plus i just tried improving the article. You may check me at SPI. Please, don't accuse me for this. Unfortunately, my first few edits included this vote.--Basji (talk) 12:07, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * As I said, Basji, I was referring to the editors who created Taraneye Madari and Siavash Kheirabi, respectively. I did not refer to you at all. --bonadea contributions talk 12:15, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Oops! I'm sorry!--Basji (talk) 21:29, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

 * I know that this is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit, but does that mean that we delete articles on the say-so of people who display such gross ignorance as to think that their inability to find sources for an Iranian topic in the Roman alphabet is a reason for deletion? If you're incapable of evaluating Persian-language sources (as I am) then you're incapable of giving an informed enough opinion about the notability of this topic. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:58, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I would love to have this article rescued. As you state, I am incapable of evaluating Persian-language sources, although this being an English encyclopedia I made a good faith effort to find sources on the subject (in English).  Unfortunately, neither this article nor the Persian wikipedia article list any sources.  As such, there is no way to verify the claims contained in this article.  On top of that, the article gives the reader no context as to what the article is about, is promotional in nature. So, I would beg of the article creator or any other Farsi-speaking editors (Basji?) to find sources and create a verifiable article.  Until then I need to keep my vote as is, in good conscience.    78.26   (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 21:31, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * The BURDEN of proof is on the editor who created the article. I made a good faith effort to find sources, to no avail. The next logical step is to submit the matter for community discussion, thus this AfD. If that qualifies me for the dunce cap of "gross ignorance", then so be it. - MrX 22:16, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
