Comment: As stated in many AfDs,  is not policy and notability criteria are subjective at best. What some others view as notable, others may not. Clearly there is a strong reaction against this wiki and other wikis such Wikinfo and Wipipedia. I find this disheartening, as many of the people involved with these wikis are most likely strong Wikipedia contributors and thus a frequent exchange between wikis as regards information is inevitable. metaspheres

Comment: Fails , and the fact it uses MediaWiki software is not an indicator of notability ''per se'': also, this article lacks referencing, |reliable sources, and no |verifiable sources. Until these can be provided, there is no assertion of notability yet

Comment: WP:GOOGLE|Google hits aren't really a notable gauge of notability or verifiability.  Doing a more complex search eliminates web boards, wikipedia itself, a few pollution-spam sites, and mirror sites, and while it's still around 1500, again, ghits aren't necessarily  notable.  But, you do mention the other news sources.  It's worth a shot, but it may run afoul of .  I'm not prejudiced to deletion, but it does need to meet standards

Comment: fails  miserably. no amount of "Keep"s can circumvent that fundamental fact. the iranian.com ref provided is merely a one-lined advertisement, and thus trivial coverage. ghits alone is not a reliable indicator of notability

Comment: There is a double-standard here. By some peoples standards here, Wikispecies and Wikiversity and Persian Wikipedia and Kurdish Wikipedia cannot have articles here, but since they are Wikimedia sites, I guess the rules don't apply, yes? But like another editor says here those rules are not "rules" but guidelines and they are viewed in a different ways by different editors. From what I see, it is notable and significant project as others have shown especially as it is the only Iranian wiki. On the Admin Noticeboard it is interesting to note that someone suggests that WP and WikIran have "interwiki" and then when he finds out that WikIran is not Wikimedia, says that since it is not an "official wiki" (whatever that means) that any links to WikIran are "wiki-spam" and should be "nuked". That's very nice, but is a hostile attitude and I agree with others who say that this is against the spirit of Wikipedia. I am 100% sure that most people on WP do not agree with attacking other wikis or editors because they are involved with other wikis or add links to other wikis. If an article on a wiki is sourced and has references, there should be no problem. A site like WP is no more or less reliable than a site like WikIran. I have looked at articles on WikIran and they have just as many sources as WP articles and alot of them use the Encyclopedia Iranica as a source. I see good arguments for and against but the people against look more concerned with attacking the project and its editors and mocking them than anything else. I have been on WP awhile and I don't care how anyone wants to justify it, but those are |personal attacks and just because its against another wiki or off-wiki editors doesn't make it right. Also the nominator is ''incorrect'' in saying that  is a policy - ''it is a guideline''. Like I am saying there is a double-standards here
