Very Notable family, founder of bank Saderat. Better sources needed may be. Consequently Oppose its deletion. 47.17.18.64 (talk) 15:03, 2 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe the bank is notable and maybe even its founder, but the entire family certainly does not enjoy inherited notability. - Brianhe (talk) 05:09, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I see you point but may be it's a bit like the Rothschild dynasty. They have an interesting coat of arms which was deleted by someone linked to "Rockefeller" in the edit history... 47.17.27.96 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:52, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment more refs are needed and a founder of a bank himself might be notable but not the familyWorldlinguistic (talk) 09:02, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Worldlinguistic: that sounds like a !vote to delete it, then? - Brianhe (talk) 20:43, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:NOTMEMORIAL We do not keep family history articles, unless the family is unambigously notable. This seems to me more like a vanity page about the family, possibly to hitch a ride on the reputation of Wikipedia as generally neutral source. I do not see enough third party sources that the family is notable and references to the company/individual members do not count. (The family doesn't inherit notability from the company). --Lemongirl942 (talk) 10:34, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
