- Comment, on maps there is an area in the north of Kermanshah called Moallem, which may have been a town. SailingInABathTub ~~🛁~~ 21:02, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 21:59, 6 January 2024 (UTC)- Delete I can't find anything besides that Google maps area- which is likely what this refers to anyways. But in the source cited "معلم" is not mentioned at all. Google Maps and other maps are unfortunately not enough to demonstrate notability under WP:NGEO. We shouldn't assume notability, and so I'd delete unless we can find a government source referring to Moalem as a legal entity (rather than say, a neighborhood of Kermanshah) EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 20:48, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Yeah, I tried looking at the 2006 census data, but it was in Persian and could not be easily translated. I feel like if it was a legitimate village, then Carlos Saurez would've made an article on it. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 01:57, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
