Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Iranian women (2nd nomination)
Lists and categories serve separate purposes. See Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and series boxes and Wikipedia:Categories vs lists. This list is annotated and structured, which cannot be done with a category. There are only 128 articles in :Category:Iranian women, easily within the realm of maintainability for this list, even if the number of notable Iranian women were double or triple this. Per #Naming conventions|stand-alone list naming conventions, a "List of X" is generally a list of only ''notable'' X; any non-notable entries which get added can and should be removed. List of former members of the United States House of Representatives is a far more extensive list than this, and it was Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of former members of the United States House of Representatives|speedily kept recently
