Delete fails WP:GNG. I believe that original creator doesn't understand notability as this is one of a number of their articles that has come to AFD recently. Mztourist (talk) 04:13, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I'm going to say keep on the basis that there appear to be Persian references that support the idea that he is/was a prominent Iranian aviator and that this would be enough to show inclusion if he had a different nationality. That said, some more tidying is necessary to ensure a neutral tone. JMWt (talk) 09:07, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
