Contested deletion
[edit]This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because I can prove it is important enough to be on Wikipedia.
Just like tens of other bike-sharing companies stated in List of bicycle-sharing systems, some small such as Rekola, Biketown, YoBike; some bigger like ofo, Nextbike, Obike and Call_a_Bike, Bdood is the first and only dockless bike-sharing company operating in Iran, which I hope you might know because of sanctions and some other problems is way behind the world in terms of technology. The company has significantly grown in the past two years, with its unignorable stations spreading across the capital city of Tehran. Thousands of users use its bikes daily, and more people are getting to know it ever since. The company also had been viral on the news [1] [2] [3] [4] [5](even the government-backed ISNA has posts about it) [6], which I believe makes it important enough to have its own Wikipedia page.
Let me know if there are any further concerns about this.
P.s: I have also read the Talk page of the issuing administrator, which shows you/they have not been hesitating to delete articles, and have tried to delete articles which weren't under the A7, without properly reading those. --Webshark25 (talk) 06:13, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

- Don't worry too much about this. It is not an administrator who put the obviously incorrect speedy deletion tag on this, but just an ordinary editor who has no more power than you, and I, as another non-administrator, removed the tag. Only administrators have the power to actually delete articles, and in most cases, apart from one prolific administrator who seems to automatically delete any article that is tagged even if it doesn't meet the speedy deletion criteria (and for some reason is still tolerated here), the article will not be deleted.
