- Keep - This does appear to be one of the main thoroughfares in Tehran. Not only is it deemed major enough to have a metro station, Khayam Metro Station, but three stations serve it - Meydan-e Mohammadiyeh Metro Station and Panzdah-e-Khordad Metro Station with the street being the main inner-city route for Tehran Metro Line 1. It's also the location of the Courthouse of Tehran. There is no way such a major street in such a major and historical city isn't notable. Most coverage is likely in Persian which makes it difficult for English speakers. See WP:BIAS. -- Oakshade ( talk) 05:58, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

- Thanks a lot for the input
Coolabahapple. I noticed this before I PRoD'ed it. But I couldnt be sure what a "junction of street" means. In some territories, it means a location ("T point" of other street) from where a route emerges. But the Khordad article says: "15th of Khordad Metro Station is a station in Tehran Metro Line 1. It is located in Panzdah-e Khordad Square, junction of Khayam Street and Panzdah-e-Khordad Street. It is between Khayam Metro Station and Imam Khomeini Metro Station." So I cant be sure what exactly it means. Maybe it means on the "T" point of Khayam Street and Panzdah-e-Khordad Street. —usernamekiran

Thanks to user Coolabahapple, the matter is being investigated further based on his intellectual comments, and inputs; instead of comments like "the street is notable based on the photo". I apologise for inconvenience. In the light of recent findings, the notability of the subject becomes borderline. This shouldnt be considered as withdrawal of the nomination. Establishing the notability is still under process. Till then, I request the voting process to be put on hold. Thanks, and sorry again. —usernamekiran

- Merge to Grand Bazaar, Tehran. But please do not delete it. I am very disappointed that Wikipedia deletes articles on major roads and it doesn't even merge or redirect, as it just happened at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thadagam road. I admit I am not able to find a lot of information about this street, but I did find that it is the entrance to the Grand Bazaar in Tehran. [1] There may also be other references in Google Scholar which I cannot access. Rather than deleting it, a merge to the Grand Bazaar directs the user to meaningful content.-- DreamLinker ( talk) 18:14, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
- The street is a different topic than the Grand Bazaar. A merge is nonsensical. --

- I cannot find enough sources to justify a keep. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thadagam road had more sources and was a much longer and more important road. Yet it got deleted (not even merged or redirected). If I use that standard, this should be deleted too. So I am suggesting a merge. The Grand Bazaar is relevant because this street is one of the borders which forms the bazaar. There are a couple of sources in Google Scholar which mention this road and the bazaar together, but I am not able to open the sources as it needs subscriptions.-- DreamLinker ( talk) 13:32, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
