- Comment: Reference #2 is the official Census of Iran. If a town is listed on their spreadsheet for this region (#11), then it's officially recognized per WP:GEOLAND and therefore notable. @ Hongsy, is Zirkeyk listed? Checking references is part of WP:BEFORE.

- Comment - This is an abadi, which is a class of rural locality explicitly excluded from GEOLAND as so many of them are not actual communities but instead pumps/farms/factories/etc. However, locations with populations above 100 are supposed to be slowly being converted into actual villages, so it's possible this is a real place.

- Comment. There's at least a school there, per
IRNA (
معاون سياسي اجتماعي استاندار سيستان و بلوچستان در سفر يك روزه به شهرستان خاش از مدارس زيركيك و ده قلعه ايرندگان ديدن كرد و مشكلات حوزه آموزشي اين بخش را مورد بررسي قرار داد
appears to refer to aزيركيك
in Irandegan, which would correspond with the entity in this article). That being said, the IRNA link isn't significant coverage, and my Persian language abilities are quite limited, so I'm having a hard time finding anything about this place other than it exists, has a school, and has some small population. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 04:38, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
