The result was keep‎. And I hope these valuable sources find their way into the article. I didn't follow the suggestion to Merge this article but as far as I can see in the comments, the Merge target doesn't exist yet. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:34, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tagged for notability since 2010. Fails WP:NBUILD. Possible redirect to whatever body of water it connects to.... which isn't even noted in the article. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:06, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. As one might expect, there is a longer article on this topic in the Persian Wikipedia at fa: نیروگاه‌های زنجیره‌ای یاسوج with lots of references. It should be possible to expand the article with text taken from the Persian article. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 16:48, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Comment I don't want to straight up !vote keep since I haven't personally reviewed or searched for non-English sources, but power plants almost always will receive a level of coverage, and it seems probable it can be sourced using sources in the local language.

I think these are small plants but nevertheless interesting. Our article says this chain of run-of-river is near Sisakht. If you look at the Google Maps satellite view, this is a hilly, arid location with some big creeks (or small rivers) and small canals. On those streams, you'll see some of these structures. What's harder to find is the refs that I know should be out there. --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 22:16, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Google translation of our Farsi (Persian) article

Bostani, Fardin (August 1998). "Engineering Geological Investigations of the Master Plan of Pul Klu-Yasuj River Chain Power Plants". Geological survey of Iran. Retrieved 13 July 2023. Google translation from Farsi.
This translated article gives details to expand our article with info on individual structures. (Archived Farsi version)

Meets notability requirements and has information for significant expansion.

Keep per A. B. See also this in-depth study of the nine-station hydropower system. That said, it might be ideal to cover this in an article on the river (or move this to become an article on the river), a sub-sub-sub-tributary of the Kasun that doesn't seem to have a standard transliteration but is given in that article as Polkolo River. -- Visviva (talk) 04:43, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note to admin: I'm happy with Visviva's idea re: merging to an article on the river. As a general rule, instead of 6.5 million articles, I'd like to see all that information in fewer but bigger articles - easier to manage.
