Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Misconceptions about Iran

Misconceptions about Iran

A listing of alleged misconceptions about Iran, consists of a combination of trivial facts (which would best go to Iran and related articles), and claims which could hardly be called neutral. Not an encyclopedia article - delete (possibly merge salvageable content to other articles). - Mike Rosoft 11:22, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - apparently trying to fail every WP policy and guideline (although could do with some vanity and advertising to round it out!). Yomangani 12:38, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Can be NPOVed like any other article. Not a good reason to delete. Khorshid 03:46, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per all the above, terrible non-article. Who writes articles titled "Misconceptions about..."?! Fut.Perf. ☼ 05:37, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as above.--الأهواز | Hamid | Ahwaz 11:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
keep. Failure in keeping so amounts to hypocricy. See: Common misconceptions about HIV and AIDS.--Zereshk 16:29, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment- If your argument is that since there is already an article that has the word 'misconceptions' in the title it would be hypocritical to delete this one, then that's a novel approach and I wish you all the best with it. I'd say the the HIV and AIDs article is unencyclopedic too, but at least for the most part it cites sources for where the misconceptions arose. - Yomangani 16:54, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This deletion drive is nothing but an attempt to censor some certain facts about Iran. And besides, it doesnt follow WP rules. There is no good reason for deleting this article. "Not encyclopedic" according to whom?--Zereshk 16:56, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The purpose of this discussion is to see whether there is a consensus to delete it, not to censor anything. If it follows all the Wikipedia guidelines then nobody reasonable is going to vote to delete it. At the moment it is is failing WP:V and WP:OR explicitly and WP:RS and WP:POV by extension. As to the unencyclopedic nature, that is up for debate, but I'd say it comes under WP:NOT. Lots of the info would as Mike Rosoft says be better in Iran (and likely to have a wider audience). If you can make it meet all the guidelines I'll gladly change my opinion to 'Keep'. Yomangani 17:36, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
