Delete - This is a little bit sad since Fakhrabad obviously exists (otherwise why would someone have created a website about it?) but the census does not record any population and the website no longer exists. Archived versions of the website do not contain any information, the website also appears not to be an independent source and thus not reliable even if it does exist. I've checked FA wiki but the additional references there don't appear to help - the "villages of Damghan city" does not appear to be independent and is anyway not evidence of legal recognition.
