Keep. See Google Scholar at http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=Paeiz+Azmi&hl=en&lr=&btnG=Search Is there an article on him in the Farsi-language Wikipedia? What do you get when you do a Google search for the Farsi spelling of his name?

Not having an article in Persian Wikipedia is not important. Also for the notability of people in academia (specially science and engineering), search results from "Google Scholar" (for the English spelling of the name) are much more relevant tan searching the original name (in this case Persian).

Delete. An associate professor whose PhD dates from 2002 would have to have done something special to meet WP:PROF, and I see no evidence of this. Google Scholar produces a top citation of 23, with his other papers only having a handful of citations [1]. I take the point about the English language, but the departmental website is in English and his selected papers all have English titles. Espresso Addict (talk) 01:17, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Doesn't meet Wikipedia:Notability (academics). Alefbe (talk) 17:57, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. I'm sensitive to the argument that we should try to be more inclusive of academics from beyond the first world, but there's no evidence that he passes WP:PROF. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:56, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
