Per WP:V. See the past discussion Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mehrshahr/here. Also, the subject lacks verifiability meaning it is hard to judge if it is notable. Willbb234 (talk) 14:55, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep My opinion has not changed since the same nominator put the same article up for deletion a couple of weeks ago. I'm not clear what it is about this article that the nominator thinks can't be verified. The place clearly exists and the sources referenced seem to be adequate to cover what the article contains. If there is some residual uncertainty about specific points this can be covered by adding a citation tag and there is no need at all to delete the entire thing.

Keep If we're not at WP:SKCRIT #2, we're close, since this was closed as keep very recently and nothing has changed. This is verifiable with an easy web search, though whether it's a neighborhood or a separate city is unclear and probably best searched in Farsi. SportingFlyer T·C 17:48, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Even the nominator agreed that the subject is notable in the prior AFD. The sources that I can read don't provide much in the way of detail (okay, hardly any at all), but they do establish that it exists and is populated, which is really all you need for WP:GEOLAND. If any of the content is unsourced and unverifiable, remove it, but the article itself should stay. CThomas³ (talk) 03:46, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per recent first AFD. --Doncram (talk) 06:52, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Snow keep without even assessing the article or sources, on the basis that I shouldn't have to: the article was nominated by the same user less than a month ago, and was kept. Re-nominating it in such a short space of time without any new justification is borderline disruptive, although I'm going to assume it's a genuine misunderstanding of process rather than deliberate.

Keep I think Mehrshahr is notable because there are enough secondary sources available in Persian for this subject. فرهنگ2016 (talk) 14:45, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I think Mehrshahr is notable, and since the city clearly exists and the sources referenced seem to be adequate to cover what the article contains. - MA Javadi (talk) 17:10, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
