I was unable to find any sources that help notability, though I did not search in Persian. A lot of citations to books they have published and nothing else. As far as I am aware, fails WP:GNG/WP:NCORP. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:23, 26 July 2026 (UTC)

• Comment. As PARAKANYAA rightly points out, the English sources here fail and just point back to the publisher's own catalog. Deleting a longstanding Iranian publisher without checking Persian sources is maybe a gap. Charlie Zachary Allen Roth (talk) 03:52, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

  I mean I tried, but searching in the Persian writing system is difficult for me. PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:55, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

I agree with @Charlie Zachary Allen Roth's comment. It probably shouldn't be deleted without someone checking. You could ask some of these people: Category:Iranian Wikipedians.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Seems to be a general sense that there may be sources in Farsi. Relisting in case any can be found.

Keep. Nominating without proper research in farsi or other languages seems to be a clear violation of WP:DILIGENCE #1 Victor Zaak Saraiva (talk) 06:35, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

@Victor Zaak Saraiva What notability guideline does this pass? PARAKANYAA (talk) 06:59, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

I guess it remains to be seen whether this does not pass any notability guideline in the first place. We need better info before discussing this properly either way Victor Zaak Saraiva (talk) 07:55, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
