The subject does not pass

WP:GNG, nor it passes Politicians notability criteria. At most we can say that it's too soon for him to be an encyclopedic entry. Saff V. (talk) 07:30, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply

hi see w:fa:ویکی‌پدیا:نظرخواهی_برای_حذف/هوتن_دولتی--جسورانه (talk) 15:39, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you. If I understand correctly, that is the Persian language article deletion discussion, where so far the consensus is unanimously to keep, is that not so? And that the editor there who attempted to have this article deleted has actually been blocked. Moreover, I see that the nominator here, Saff V., has been active in creating articles about Iranian regime military figures and has been previously warned about edit warring, so I do wonder if there's some politically motivated agenda to erase articles about opponents of the Iranian regime and if the nominator is not part of that.

The SPI that was declined for lack of evidence? I don't see what that proves. As best I can tell, we appear to have a multi-faceted inter-Wiki campaign to remove articles about a notable anti-regime activist, and this Afd is part of it.

So just to recap: 1) the editor who opened the Afd at the Persian wiki has been blocked for abusing multiple accounts 2) the Afd there was unanimously opposed and closed as keep for obvious notability 3) the SPI opened here by SPA

I've asked the blocking admin at the Persian wiki, who does have an account here, and is in fact a Steward, to take a look.

Ramaksoud2000: and where are those sources deeply dealing with the subject? I mean, as you know, here's an encyclopedia and we don't rely on passing mentions. --Mhhossein talk 19:09, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
They are all on the Persian language wiki article -- which according to your userpage is a language you are able to read.

Did I ping you?! Anyway, yes I can read persian and that's why I'm supporting the deletion. --Mhhossein talk 19:28, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't need your permission to make a comment at Afd, regardless of whether you ping me or not. I restate that the reliable sources on Persian-language wiki article -- which was speedily kept at Afd -- constitute significant coverage in reliable sources, from what I can tell using Google Translate.

The sources are here, as linked at the top. Ramaksoud2000 (Talk to me) 19:35, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the google search results link Ramaksoud2000. But, could you please say which of those millions of results brought up by google are sources dealing with the source in depth and hence proving the notability? --Mhhossein talk 19:40, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
And I just want to remind everyone that reliable sources need not be in the English language. The totality of the Farsi sources appear better than what we find in English, far as we can tell. There are quite a few strong ones at

Thanks for the cooperation but your misleading this Mhhossein-Ramaksoud2000 dialogue is really annoying and dubious. I would be thankful if you could avoid doing that and commenting elsewhere on this page. Btw, how can you verify that those sources are strong and deep? --Mhhossein talk 19:50, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
US Embassy, UK Gov, Amnesty International, Amnesty USA, and other sources that I can't assess the reliability of at the moment all cover him in detail. There are other trivial mentions as well. Those are just the English language sources. I don't believe I will be able to convince you though. You appear to have a close connection to this topic. I will not be responding further because you are rudely telling another editor not to contribute. All views are welcome. Ramaksoud2000 (Talk to me) 19:53, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Ramaksoud2000. Yes, I daresay it's pretty clear to objective editors what's going on here. Please don't worry on my account. Now, as for reliable sources, in Farsi, yes I think I can thanks to the wonders of Google Translate. He is mentioned in the headlines of multiple articles such as here, here (the Voice of America], here. This appears to be an excellent list of abstracts of further articles. There's no shortage of coverage; this is just a sampling. Now, some of the multiple refs may be judged to be blogs rather than news media, but given the Iranian theocratic regime's control, we're unlikely to find coverage in state news organs.

(edit conflict) No, I welcome his views, but in its correct place. Jumping right into others dialogue is not respected. By those reliable sources, do you mean that virtual Embassy? Yes I think this is good but that virtual embassy and a source by an advocacy group are rarely considered reliable. Mhhossein talk 20:08, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
