Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Iranian Democracy Movement

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Those arguing to keep this article describe it as a broad article about a pro-democracy movement in Iran. To justify such an article, we need at least a few equally broad sources discussing the topic in the same way our article does. These sources have not been provided. Sources have been provided about the protests as a whole; about individual incidents, slogans, and actors within the protests; and about specific meetings or coordination efforts. But these by and large have articles of their own, and bringing them together into a single article is indeed forbidden synthesis, as the delete opinions point out. As such the keep !votes are largely not based in policy, and there is consensus to delete. This does not preclude such an article in the future; indeed, it's not unlikely that overviews will appear in the scholarly literature a few years removed from the current protests; but we cannot pre-empt those.
