no significance coverage in RS. fails WP:GNG. Saqib (talk) 16:30, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The amount of attention that Roohallah Zam and his channels AmadNews and Sedaie Mordam have received during the protests. more than justify his having a page in Wikipedia.Postermon1 17:34, 31 December 2017 (UTC+1)

Keep Sources are out there (on the Farsi wiki) but personally I am way too lazy to write an article out of them. If someone can help it might work. Karl.i.biased (talk) 16:45, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I also added a few more sources plus some very basic info to the article. Karl.i.biased (talk) 16:48, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I read the article in Persian and it turned out that the person was an Iranian journalist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IamIRAQI (talk • contribs) 18:00, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Roohollah Zam's Telegram channels have been posting slogans for protestors to chant as well as tactics to be used such as blocking roads with cars. He's definately playing a key role in the protests but all of those are Telegram posts and so not serious sources to be used in an article. But the point is he's giving tactical and messaging direction to a fairly large audience (I think his old channel had over 1 million followers) and should be included in Wikipedia's coverage Postermon1 22:04, 31 December 2017 (UTC+1)
If you go to the images on this page you will see screenshots of posts made on one of Roohollah Zam's Telegram channels instructing protesters on how to block roads as well as providing instructions on what slogans to chant. https://twitter.com/ali_cgn Postermon1 06:42, 1 January 2018
Keep. Judging by its web traffic, Amadnews.org is a prominent news website and he is editor in chief of it. [1] Prominent journalist who played a high profile role in the Iranian protests of December 2017 too.[2]desmay (talk) 00:06, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Clearly does not satisfy WP:PROF in terms of notable achievements/coverage. She passed away. Page probably created as a memorial by a family member or a student who liked her.desmay (talk)

I assume your web browser glitched and you typed this in the wrong field, considering your reply above and the fact that you are describing someone who is not the person in question Karl.i.biased (talk) 20:10, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Wait Notable figure in current events. I'd say more evidence about notability will come to light as events move on. I think the page should stay, let people improve it. Once this dies down, then maybe consider deletion again if necessary. Weak Keep ∰Bellezzasolo✡ Discuss 20:28, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - the RFR and Daily Mail articles suggest that he's notable, although I'd like to see more than a handful of sources. TimTempleton ^(talk) ^(cont) 23:48, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
