two badly written unsourced articles that contradict each other Lhmn (talk) 16:55, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and improve rather than delete for being badly written. It seems to indeed be an Iranian university per "Universities in Iran: List of Universities in Iran". I am inclined to keep the article based on mere verification that it is an actual functioning university, so long as it is accredited by whatever council accredits universities and colleges in that country, and is not an upstart diploma mill. Input from someone able to search for sources in Farsi would be most helpful. The version titled Allameh mohades nouri university seems to be a better-translated version of some non-English source than the version at Allameh Mohaddes Noori University, so the merged version should correspond to the text there. The information appears to be consistent between the two article, except for years which may relate to the calendar used there, although AH 1375 would seem to be 1955 in the Gregorian calendar, while the other article says it was founded in 1996. Someone able to read Farsi should verify that the article is not a copyright violation, and if so stub it pending improvement. There is a Persian Wikipedia at [1] and it would be helpful to know if this is a translation of their article, and if so whether the Persian article has references.Edison (talk) 17:25, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Using Google translate, I was able to verify that this article is a translation of the Persian Wikipedia article [2]. The school has a website at [3] which appears to list their accreditations. I leave it to someone fluent in the language to give it a look. It appears to be accredited as a university by the Iranian government. So be it. Edison (talk) 17:40, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Allameh Mohaddes Noori University - as an accredited university it is notable. Someone fluent in the language needs to clean it up and produce a combined page from the two versions. TerriersFan (talk) 18:38, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
