Iranica-Chan

Speedy deletion was declined because a statement was added to the article that this is "one of the largest Internet communities for Iranians". I can find no independent online sources in English to substantiate this, or anything else about the subject. It is possible that there are sources in Persian but I rather doubt it as this web site is written in English. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:00, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Notability not stablished, unsourced, advert. Spada II ♪♫ (talk) 07:51, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I can find no evidence of notability. There are no sources cited. The only claim of significance is the completely unsourced statement that it "is one of the largest Internet communities for Iranians". This statement was added after the article was tagged for speedy deletion as making no claim of significance. The claim is implausible, as if it were so then there would certainly be plenty of references to it. Everything about the article suggests it has been written to promote the web site.
