Your recent submission

Hello Chazzl73! I recently reviewed your submission at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Afranet and I thought the article was decent. There are some problems though because Afranet is protected and can only be edited by an administrator. I made a request for the protection to be removed from the page; however, some concerns remain because of notability concerns and sourcing issues. I don't have enough time to do in-depth searches to make a good argument so if you want to have your page moved to article space I recommend that you take part in the discussion here. It is under the section on Afranet. I hope we can get everything worked out for you! Ryan Vesey Review me! 05:29, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Taking part in a discussion on a page like Wikipedia:Requests for page protection can be difficult, so feel free to ask for help from me or at one of Wikipedia's many help areas including the help desk and the Teahouse. Ryan Vesey Review me! 05:34, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. I try my best to emphasize on important points here. Sorry if it is long.

Population of Iran is about 75 millions. Tthe second language there is English, so it is crucial to have information about reputable Iranian companies both in Farsi and English.

Iran has the highest rate of education in Middle East. It has large and successful immigrant community in English speaking countries including US, UK & Canada. More than half of the population there is below 30, Internet Usage in Iran and number of Internet users in Iran are the highest among Middle Eastern countries, which make it important to have information about important Iranian companies online.

Except Afranet, at present there is no other ISP/ICP in Tehran’s Stock Exchange and they are the only private IT company in Iran that has ever gone IPO. Afranet's market share in Iran’s Internet is almost 10%. (3 millions out of 30 million users ref - http://www.internetworldstats.com/me/ir.htm and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_in_Iran )

Largest University of Iran (Islamic Azad University) is hosted in Afranet’s Data Center which is another measure of credibility (check it at http://notification.azmoon.org/). This is one of the honorary national projects in Iran completely hosted by Afranet with 2.5 million daily visitors and two millions registered students.

Afranet Data Center has almost 3,000 physical machines that put it among the largest in Middle East. If you want to compare it, the three leading Data Centers in the United States are Google, Amazon and Microsoft. Afranet has the similar role in Iran.

Afranet categorized as a “Medium” sized registry by Ripe (https://www.ripe.net/membership/indices/data/ir.afranet.html ). It accounts for about 1% of IPv4 addresses in Iran (ref http://www-public.int-evry.fr/~maigron/RIR_Stats/RIPE_Allocations/IPv4/Alpha/IR.html) and

No other Data Center in Middle East except Afranet holds an Information Security Management System certificate (ISMS or Iso 27001 ref http://www.gilanifoundation.com/homepage/128/Asia%20128/Iran%20128.pdf , http://www.iso27001certificates.com/Taxonomy/ScopeResults.asp & http://www.afranet.com/Stocks/MarketingInfo/Afranet-Catalogue.pdf )

Afranet's website has Google Page Rank of “5” which means it has good amount of authority in the eyes of Google. This authority mainly comes from the history, links by third parties to the website and visitors and could count a measure of credibility (check the Page Rank at http://www.prchecker.info/check_page_rank.php). Besides, there are about 1 million indexed pages in Google by searching “Afranet” or “افرانت” and its CEO, “Fereidoun Ghasemzadeh” or “فریدون قاسم زاده” in both English and Farsi on aggregate. Only in Google and not considering other search engines or search sources, there are over 100,000 searches annually for aforementioned terms (according to Google Adwords tool available at https://adwords.google.com/o/Targeting/Explorer?__c=1000000000&__u=1000000000&ideaRequestType=KEYWORD_IDEAS ).

Afranet Competitors such as Parsonline (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsonline ), Sepanta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepanta) & Shatel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shatel ) with sometimes smaller market share are listed and accepted in Wikipedia. Afranet is a much more credible company from some aspects.

This company (ie Afranet) went public late last year (2011), there are a lot of inquiries about investing in this company, analysis of its stock or more information on it. Their market cap is 27 billion Rials (ref – Tehran Stock Exchange site @ http://en.tsetmc.com/loader.aspx?ParTree=121C1412&inscode=52792903131341205 and balance sheet at http://www.fipiran.com/CompanyBalanceSheet.aspx?lan=en&FinancialInstrumentId=4415&CompanyId=756 ) (was about 17 million USD as of 2011 – ref www.turquoisepartners.com/iraninvestment/IIM-Aug11.pdf and http://www.reportlinker-news.com/n018990830/Market-Overview.html ).

Afranet has been mentioned numerous times in English and Farsi news including the following:

United Nations report on Iran: http://un.org.ir/sites/default/files/docs_pub/3970/doc_attachments/post_report.pdf

MacMaster Times: http://www.afranet.com/En/App_Themes/images/About/Press/MACMASTER.jpg

Iran News (News Paper): http://afranet.com/App_Themes/images/About/Press/Afranet-in-Media.pdf Page 28

The company is pretty active in social activities and accordingly, has many searches for that, which makes it essential to be available in Wikipedia too. (look at http://afranet.com/En/Social/Responsibility.aspx )

Hi, you need to present this case to deletion review, follow the instructions here. Please stop submitting the submission for review. As has already been mentioned, you need to ask for the page title to be unprotected at deletion review. Continuing to re-submit will not achieve anything accept clogging up our pending submission queue -- which is already massively backlogged. I have removed the tag.

Can you help me in this regard and open the discussion, so I will share my argument? I am kind of lost here!

Afranet

Per the DRV consensus, the subject article has been un-salted and you may begin work on a policy-compliant article to fill it. The DRV affords no special protection against future deletion efforts, so please make sure your new article meets encyclopedic inclusion guidelines and doesn't have the promotional tone issues that previous ones did. Feel free to ask an experienced editor, such as one of the individuals commenting in the DRV, for assistance if desired. Jclemens (talk) 06:26, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. Will do as you advised. ChazzI73 (talk) 20:23, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
