Keep. Things recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site are almost always notable, in the same way that any place in the United States listed on the National Register of Historic Places or as a National Historic Site (United States) is. Eastmain
Redirect to Shushtar Historical Hydraulic System. The dam is not a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the hydraulic system, of which it may or may not be a part of (sources are not specific), is. If it was a WHS, then yes, it would be notable, as Eastmain points out. But in expanding on their analogy, in the US, we have Historical Districts (as well as individual sites), and in those districts, while the district is notable, the individual buildings are not, unless they also receive NHRP status as well.

Keep. Added some more references. Mizan dam is a Unesco World Heritage and also an Iranian National Heritage, so it is notable. It Should not be redirteced to Shushtar Historical Hydraulic System; Shushtar Historical Hydraulic System consists of 13 heritages which has been registered in one document. One document does not mean it is about only one structure/canal. So each heritage needs its own page. The same thing has happened for Monastery of Saint Thaddeus, Saint Stepanos Monastery and Chapel of Dzordzor. The three monasteries are registered in one document called Armenian Monastic Ensembles of Iran. Apparently they have not redirected to each other because they are different heritages.Mmojtabaa (talk) 17:51, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mmojtabaa: As the article creator you are usually expected to vote keep. –Cupper52^Discuss! 18:11, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:HEY. World Heritage Sites are almost always notable, and this was built by Roman Soldiers and is still standing! Bearian (talk) 00:59, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It's difficult to imagine an extant manmade structure built 1750 years ago which isn't notable. Narky Blert (talk) 16:10, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Narky Blert above. // Timothy :: t | c | a 13:09, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
