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)

• Keep The Persian-language Wikipedia article is very well developed. Using Google translate, from what I can make out, there do seem to be very good number of reliable sources about the article subject. Reliable sources do not have to be in English, here.

hi see w:fa:ویکی‌پدیا:نظرخواهی_برای_حذف/هوتن_دولتی--جسورانه (talk) 15:39, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

• 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.

see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Derakhshan This article was written by Hootandolati (talk · contribs) This is an ads. [Ads Iranian].--جسورانه (talk) 16:05, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

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. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:18, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

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 User:111695 has been declined for a complete lack of evidence. The natural next step would be to see if User:111695 is another sock of the indef blocked Persian sockpuppeteer, but that's not a matter for here. As for the nominator here, who is an experienced editor, for now I leave it to his judgement to see what part he wishes to continue to play in all this.

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. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:49, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

• Delete: He does not pass our WP:GNG test. I also think it's WP:TOOSOON. --Mhhossein ^talk 18:31, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
• Keep A Google search shows him covered in numerous documents and pages by governments and international organizations, as well as a few other websites. Ramaksoud2000 ^{(Talk to me)} 19:05, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

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)

They are all on the Persian language wiki article -- which according to your userpage is a language you are able to read. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:13, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
