[edit] Zirnevis

Zirnevis (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Delete. This is a very odd article, without any references in the text save to the web-page of Zirnevis itself, which is entirely in arabic script but appears to be a commercial site for selling this group(?)'s products. (By the admission of the article, by the way, these products are in infringement of international law). The group's alleged popularity amongst Iranians has no suuporting evidence. The article is an orphan not linking into any other Wikipedia article. An external link has been given to a pop song dubbed in Farsi - without any indication whether this dubbing has been done by the group Zirnevis or not. Googling shows that apart to references derived from Wikipedia, internet links are to commercial products of Zirnevis. Reasons for deletion could therefore include:

• unreferenced article
• commercial plug without encyclopaedic reference
• non-notable subject (orphan in Wikipedia)

(Zirnevis web site is not in "Arabic" script; it is in Persian.) Although Zirnevis.com is a well known group in Iran, supporting evidence is not available online (or at least in English) and part of what explained in the article is original research. Despite my previous contribution to correct this article, I agree with its deletion.
