Comment: Reference #1 is the official Census of Iran. If a town is listed on their spreadsheet for this region (#08 in this case), then it's officially recognized per WP:GEOLAND and therefore notable. @Hongsy, is Kahur Abbas listed? Checking references is part of WP:BEFORE.

Thanks,

@A. B. - This is an abadi article created by Carlossuarez46. See particularly this discussion where 13,157 of them were deleted and the ARBCOM case related to this. Abadi are explicitly excluded from GEOLAND. FOARP (talk) 09:39, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails WP:V. Simply put, no source is provided in the article that would allow you to confirm the existence of this "village". Listing as an abadi in the Iranian census is not evidence of being a populated place since Iranian census takers simply use the names of shops/bridges/pumps/farms/etc. as the reference points when they take the census - for this reason they are explicitly excluded from GEOLAND.

Delete per above. FOARP, thanks for letting me straight about abadis and Hongsy, thanks for your work cleaning up this mess.
