Why is there not a single example? They know one can compare the page-versions right?

For example:

Probably because the complaints are about the Persian-language version. And including links to other websites might cause people to actually click them and spend less time looking at ads.

Here's the removal discussion for the article about Vahid Beheshti https://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%88%DB%8C%DA%A9%DB%8C%E2%80... (Google Translate: https://fa-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/%D9%88%DB%8C%... )

As usual it's about the notability bureaucracy and how being famous for that one thing you did once is not enough for a standalone article about you.
