Keep – If a user doesn’t know Persian or how to simply translate a Persian page to English with Google Translate, it doesn’t make all the Persian references unusable or unreasonable. The Persian references in this article come from the most reasonable, reliable, mainstream, and important news sites in the Persian language, some of which have more than 70 years of experience. The English references are not mainstream, but most of them are reliable and rational or at least secondhand, if not firsthand. Having problems with references doesn’t make the whole subject worthy of deletion; rather, adding more reliable references would be more reasonable.

Thank you for your time. Taha Danesh (talk) 16:47, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Danesh. The article does need work, though. With so many false statements in essay-like prose that I just removed, I wouldn't be surprised if the article was written with AI. Aaron Liu (talk) 20:25, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Two of the ITO sources are press releases and therefore fail WP:PRSOURCE, while the "Digital Platforms and Services" page only contains a single sentence about the MXB and therefore doesn't qualify as SIGCOV. Based on these sources alone, I would vote to delete, but I don't know enough about Iranian media (or any of the language) to make a judgment on the other sources, so I'll leave it at that.

Firstly that page is made by the government, so it would be primary either way. Secondly, I think that every source that's not from ITO here qualifies for GNG, even discounting the ones I removed which also count. Aaron Liu (talk) 23:32, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
