talk page or in a deletion review

). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. I don't see any consensus to delete, although not a 100% consensus for keep either. Whether or not to drafity is an editorial decision that can be made outside of AfD. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 07:09, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have noticed that this article has only Persian citations, without any English reference/website/press, hence, while this may possibly be notable in Persian Wikipedia, I believe the subject is not notable in English Wikipedia. Fails

• Comment. See
  WP:NONENG. We don't require that sources be in English. Is there another deletion rationale? pburka (talk) 22:15, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply

• Draftify. There are a lot of Persian language journalistic sources here (Keyhan, ISNA, etc), so I have little doubt that the subject is notable under GNG, and ought to have an article. But at the moment, the account of what has happened in the "Controversy" section is totally incomprehensible word salad. Attention is needed from an Iranian speaker to resolve this.

• Keep -- no valid deletion rationale given. Sources are not required to be in English.

Yes, non-English source is allowed, but it does not constitute the entire article to be from foreign sources. Considering that there are zero English source (i.e. no English media coverage whatsoever), does the subject belongs to the English version of Wikipedia? I did a quick google search on the subject before nomination and there is no articles or news on the subject. Aviator006 (talk) 11:29, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If a person is notable in any language then they ought to have a page on English Wikipedia. Our notability guidelines aren't intended to exclude any languages, cultures, or nations. pburka (talk) 13:00, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, there is absolutely nothing in wikipedia policy that says a certain amount of English language coverage needs to be achieved.

Persians also read English Wikipedia. There is no Wiki policy I know of that says an article cannot exist with sources in a foreign language. Peter303x (talk) 03:18, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep There is no Wiki policy I know of that says an article cannot exist with sources in a foreign language. There seems to be major coverage on her in Persian publications and she has also won an award. She may not be a notable figure outside her own country, but it appears that she is in Iran.

• Draftify. While it passes GNG, the article is not yet ready for mainspace. It needs copy editing and some hand holding in development by input from experienced editors.4meter4 (talk) 05:32, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Draftify or delete. While references need not be in English,
  WP:NACTOR Looking at the English translation of the other language article it is clear the subject has NOT had "significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." subject has had minor roles with minor awards. I only suggest draftify, as there may be unrecorded roles the make the subject notable. Jeepday (talk) 17:25, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply
