Problematic article. For a start, there's no article in Farsi, which seems odd for a prominent academic and scientist. And there are no papers. And the sourcing/citation is odd and the sources are marginal and often questionable as to notability and just everything about this article is so very 'off' that it just screams AfD. Fails WP:GNG; WP:BASIC and, most tellingly, WP:NACADEMIC. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:41, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article claims that the subject is an academic, but no academic affiliation or details of any academic position are given. Do these exist, or is this word simply there to make the subject seem important? Phil Bridger (talk) 16:16, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. No indication of importance. Can't find secondary sources in my non-article checks, even if in Farsi, though, to be fair, I'd have difficulties searching there. But I did find that the corresponding Farsi article has been the equivalent of A7'd: link. The only secondary source with significant coverage in the article is the second; I don't know about independence because of the language barrier. I don't think, in any case, that that source is enough. Iseult^Δxparlez moi 14:25, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
