Micro-scale dam which does not meet WP:GNG. Has been tagged for notability since April 2010; however, no improvements were made to establish its notability. No English search results, except different wikies based on this page. There may be more deep coverage in Farsi. Beagel (talk) 17:03, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - As a hydroelectric generation plant and dam, notability can be assumed; and sources are very likley to be found in Farsi. Systemic bias may be an issue. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 04:13, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not every hydroplant and dam is notable, particularly in the case of micro- and small hydro projects. You can't just asume a notability of every micro- and small scale project. If there are sources satisfying WP:GNG, the article should be kept. Otherwise, it should be deleted. During almost four years nobody has provided any reliable third party source providing a significant coverage addressing the topic directly and in detail. Just mentioning the name of the dam by sources is not enough for WP:GNG. As for Systemic bias, it may be an issue, of course, but unlikely. During the last four years, members of WP:DAMS, particularly user:NortyNort has expanded all similar stubs created by the same author. Remained only stubs where no sources available.

Delete. Very small dam which does not meet WP:GNG. Given the growth trend for renewable energy plants, notability cannot be simply assumed, or else things would quickly get out of hand. Johnfos (talk) 03:35, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of power stations in Iran or just delete. I did a similar AfDthree years ago on a plethora of planned dams in Iran. Hard to find information on these and it is a very small hydroelectric plant. I have worked on many of these articles and expanded what I could. If we don't delete or redirect it will be four more years!... of stub status...--NortyNort (Holla) 14:10, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Stifle (talk) 17:53, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The other merge target would be the town it is adjacent to. I'd support that. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:13, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
