Public library of no notability. Article lacks even the context to place it in Iraq, makes no claim whatsoever of any notability. Building is not notable per WP:NBUILDING; fails WP:GNG. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 07:42, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are sources. I found these via our friends at wikipedia Sorani. 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 are reasonable length news articles about the library, the book collection and history. The ckb.wiki also cites various offline books about the library. It's a city of nearly 900k people - wouldn't it be more surprising if their public library wasn't notable? In my country there's a fairly major wiki page on libraries in cities that size (and likely some for places a lot smaller). I say keep in solidarity with our Kurdish Sorani WP friends.

Keep with the sources given above, I'm good with GNG having been met. They seem like RS. Oaktree b (talk) 13:08, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agree & Withdraw nomination. Shame they - and the information they contain - couldn't have been in the article. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:11, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
