The result was delete. Liz Read! Talk! 07:37, 15 September 2022 (UTC) P.S. FOARP, by the way, XFDCloser still doesn't like how you list your bundled nominations so I deleted the other 22 articles individually. It's not a lot of work but there does seem to be a trick to formatting these nominations. I think you need put the articles above the nomination statement, at the top of the page. Liz Read!

I wrote a long delete rationale and it got eaten by the my web browser so I'm just going to direct you first to every other delete discussion we've had about these Iranian Abadi. Particularly this one.

The TL;DR version is that the name of this place translates as "Organisation numbers one and two". the local mosques are just called "Etihad 1" and "Etihad 2". Etihad just means "united" or "organised" and is unlikely to be a place-name. The addresses in GMaps for the location given in the article (which appears to be between two villages) all describe it as Yolme Salian which we already have an article on.

This is just yet another example of the kind of mess that trying to transpose every listing in a directory into an article on Wikipedia causes. I'm also nominating the following articles since they are also Iranian "village" articles including the term "Shomareh" (i.e., "number") because all of these appear to be either numbered-neighbourhoods/locations or groupings of neighbourhoods and not real villages and all have the same failings as this article -

Nb. the redirects above are cases where the creator (Carlossuarez46 who resigned following an arbcom case) appears to have come up with their own ersatz name by removing the "shomareh" bit of the name, but in many cases they have left the Farsi number in (e.g., "do", which is "two") and also have the same failings.

These are hoax/spam articles created by the same editor using the same template and as such bundling is allowed per WP:BUNDLE.

I'll template the articles in the list later with AWB, please have patience. The list is not collapsed in this case because this appears to cause problems for the automated deletion tool used by closers - we'll see if this works better. FOARP ( talk) 08:53, 8 September 2022 (UTC) reply

LaundryPizza03 - Yeah, there's some article titles that throw up warning signs straight away: Deh-e Hut (ده حوت) means literally "Ten Fish" according to Google Translate and is right next to a village supposedly called Deh-e Hut 1 0_o . I take these cases here to AFD because they can be done in bulk here, it has a decisive effect, and it has re-checking of my WP:BEFORE work by other editors, but another big reason is I'm trying to build a case to just delete all of these Abadi articles. So far, as far as I am aware, every single large-scale deletion of Abadi has been approved by consensus and frankly I think after a few more of these passing through unobjected it will be time to take it large scale.
