Mhhossein which article is this a WP:POVFORK of?VR _talk 01:25, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

MEK. Even see how awkward the title is.--Mhhossein ^talk 04:18, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP Major trial case in Europe concerning a terrorist plot involving an Iranian diplomat. The first of its kind in Europe. Countless of RSs covering this. Obviously notable. Stefka Bulgaria (talk) 08:01, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

None of 'The first of its kind in Europe' and 'Countless of RSs covering this' are going to make a NEWS notable. I hope this nomination don't become a disaster like the RFCs. --Mhhossein ^talk 11:13, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Of course an Iranian diplomat being jailed for terrorist charges is notable.

"An Iranian diplomat has been jailed for 20 years over a failed bomb plot in France that has stoked tensions between the EU and Tehran even as they scramble to save a landmark international nuclear deal."FT

"Assadi’s conviction comes at a critical time and has the potential to embarrass his country as U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration weighs whether to rejoin the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers." AP NEWS

"His conviction is the first time an Iranian official has been sentenced for terrorism in the European Union since Iran’s 1979 revolution, and it comes as President Joe Biden is considering whether to rejoin the historic 2015 nuclear accord and to lift the sanctions on Iran that were reimposed by his predecessor Donald Trump."VOA NEWS

Here are more from THE TIMES, NY TIMES WSJ, and many more are available! If this is not notable, then I don't know what is. Idealigic (talk) 21:51, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So, using a similar argument, Maraym Rajavi's detention in France should be more notable. You know there are plenty of sources for that. What's your opinion? --Mhhossein ^talk 11:51, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mhhossein you should first try expanding Maryam Rajavi#France. If there are objections about UNDUE there, then yes it would be fair to create Maraym Rajavi's detention in France. That was also a notable event, especially since many MEK supporters committed suicide in response.VR _talk 21:40, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Vice regent: Thanks for the suggestion, that looks fair enough. --Mhhossein ^talk 05:36, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Sustained coverage from RS about the subject, although as it stands, the article reads like a hit-piece against the Iranian state - however even though it's current not NPOV, we should remember that wp:DINC.

Keep. Appears quite likely to have lasting significance. That and the international coverage suggests this meets criteria laid out at WP:EVENTCRIT. The article for Asadollah Asadi, on the other hand, should probably be smerged per WP:BLP1E. gobonobo ⁺ ^c 12:23, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This notable case should have an article. Eventually it could be merged with Asadollah Asadi to avoid POV fork. Otto (talk) 14:43, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this article for now, but merge Asadollah Asadi into this article. If a few years pass and this topic doesn't get further coverage, then re-nominate for AfD.VR _talk 21:37, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
