Fails WP:SPORTCRIT. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 18:23, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Women, Olympics, and Iran. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 18:45, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Reasonably accomplished on the regional stage. Women's sports in Iran isn't overly developed. Where did you do the WP:BEFORE? Geschichte (talk) 20:24, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep notable person and has sources. Xegma(talk) 19:55, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Neither of the sources in the article is anywhere close to IRS SIGCOV -- they are two routine event recaps from the same competition, and the second link has a namedrop in a single sentence. SPORTSCRIT is very very clear that articles must have IRS SIGCOV cited, and the community rejected calls to weaken this requirement for people from less-covered regions or time periods.
I performed English and Farsi searches specific to each of the top 8 Persian sports newspapers.
Tasnim: only returned routine and trivial namedrop results (e.g. here, here, here) and direct quotes from Norouzi or others (obviously neither independent nor secondary) (e.g. here, here, here, here). Tehran Times: nothing. News Now: nothing. Mehr News: routine and trivial news reports (1 2 3 4 5), pure-quotes press releases (1 2, titled "Sohrabian [head of Iranian rowing federation]: We are grateful to the women's two-person rowing team for not finishing last"). Iran Front News: nothing. Iran Daily News: nothing. Iran Wire: very brief coverage of her displaying the Palestinian flag at the Olympics, but nothing actually on her (or even on this incident; the article just mentions it as a launchpad into nationalist and Islamist polemic), routine and trivial results announcements (1 2). Iran Press: routine and trivial results announcements (1 2 3). JoelleJay (talk) 03:19, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Per the analysis by JoelleJay, there isn't enough WP:SIGCOV to meet the WP:GNG. A separate search revealed nothing better. Let'srun (talk) 14:14, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
