Promotional. The creator has COI and got banned in Persian Wikipedia for this. And they created the article in 19(!) languages. Deleted in Persian Wikipedia. Many references don't actually mention him and most of them are not reliable. Already soft deleted where the creator contested and got it back right after deletion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mehdi Tehrani) Ladsgroup^overleg 22:47, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For example: Out of 15 of references mentioned, ten of them are Hamshari Online where he works in. That's not an independent source. Ladsgroup^overleg 22:49, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Or the fact that "Ethics and weapons of mass destruction : religious and secular perspectives. Cambridge University Press." is mentioned as a reference but I got the e-book and searching his name doesn't return any results. In which page this is written? This is a WP:FAKE violation and I'm fairly certain the Hebrew source will be similar too Ladsgroup^overleg 22:55, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Per nom, clear violation of WP:FAKE. UtherSRG (talk) 00:04, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I see only passing mentions as far as GNG goes (mostly in newspapers that the subject writes for), little sign of WP:NPROF, and no assertion of WP:NAUTHOR. It is relatively difficult to search for sources in Farsi, and I am watching this discussion in case better evidence of notability arises. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 16:26, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment:@Russ Woodroofe: Hi. Please Look sorce no.7and no.13. Article no 7 is Totally About subject. Wrote by prof. Vera kotloskaya and translated by Fredrick Alosi. (Look blow the source) At these sources talk about subject( Mehdi Tehrani) and mention some notable people such as Arthur Asa berger (he was doctoral advisor for tehrani) and Artuer knight. Who told about him .as professor and film critic: Sorcre no.13,.exactly mention about meeting and visit of them in Tehran. Picture of they had in article as so.i think the subject definitely had WP:NPROF. As A full professor in film Studies. sources I mentioned prove this. Thanks so much. -- Patricia Mannerheim (talk) 18:48, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Source 13 does not contribute significantly to notability. Source 7 is not nothing, but is also of unclear independence from the subject. Both are from the same newspaper (which the subject is also affiliated with). I do not see GNG here. Little sign of WP:NPROF, which requires quite a bit more than just being a full professor.
