I can't find any secondary sources for this company that meet WP:CORPDEPTH. Also, the periodic attempts to replace the article with copyvio spam are pretty irritating. — Cryptic 10:34, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- I've just had to revert the removal of the AfD tag and restoration of the copyvio spam again. Under normal circumstances I would look for sources to see if this could be saved from deletion, but in the face of such behaviour I will not do so. 86.17.222.157 ( talk) 11:39, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- Comment: There is clearly an editor behaviour issue here (which is not part of the material discussion at AfD), but I notice that the user had not been advised on their Talk page. I have now placed a first-level notice about removing AfD templates. AllyD ( talk) 12:14, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for rectifying my omission. I agree that editor behaviour is not a reason for deletion, but it can influence the decisions of volunteer editors about whether to spend time helping with an article, and so indirectly lead to deletion. 86.17.222.157 ( talk) 12:25, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

- Delete: There is a page on fa.wikipedia.org but, judging by a Google Translate, it is fully promotional in tone and lacking in better sources. The firm does seem to be included in a list of Iran's 100 valuable brands (translating as "Hakobyan": [1]) but I am not seeing evidence that this is more than a run-of-the-mill retailer without encyclopaedic notability.

- On the off chance someone who speaks Farsi sees this and can provide any insight as to what the "300,000 permanent subscribers" in the article should have actually been translated as, that might be helpful. That vague claim was the main reason I didn't bring this to afd a year ago when it was first tagged for speedy. — Cryptic 14:08, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
