No WP:SUSTAINED coverage. Two-day in event in 2014 with coverage largely limited to that period. Iskandar323 (talk) 11:34, 21 May 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Withdrawn by nominator - ok, let's not waste any more time on this. While the original event seems to have been a non-event, there seems to be significant meta discussion around the actors and the purpose of the initative. Iskandar323 (talk) 08:17, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. I disagree with the nominator that coverage was limited to 2014. You need only search for the event name in google news, and then adjust the date range to 2015-2022 to see plenty coverage since 2014. Some examples:
 * 1) https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/300620/Rouhani-urges-OIC-to-iron-out-divisions-through-dialogue
 * 2) https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/11/opinion/mohammad-javad-zarif-saudi-arabias-reckless-extremism.html CT55555 (talk) 13:30, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't think that a handful of trivial mentions from 2016 (all of which only make a cursory mention of the 2013 proposal/2014 event) really overturns the absence of WP:SUSTAINED coverage. It is an Iranian political talking point that the regime uses to promote its goodwill and which, yes, occasionally crops up as a trivial mention, but nothing more.

 * Keep. I don't believe that WP:SUSTAINED applies here. Discussed in books published in 2018, 2020 and 2021. Pahlevun (talk) 17:58, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep - This McGill international Review discussion of W.A.V.E. appears to be SIGCOV of the event, as does the coverage in this book. Since this coverage extends over years it is clearly a pass for WP:LASTING. FOARP (talk) 07:31, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
