Keep Although there are mixed reviews about this man, as there are about many public figures, he is a very well-known and important figure in the Iranian community in the United States. He has one website www.tapeshtv.com , he is the publisher of a magazine, Tapesh Magazine, he is the president of Tapesh TV, Tapesh Records, and Tapesh Productions, and he has several shows on television. His channel, Tapesh TV, is a non-political entertainment channel and is also available on DishNetwork. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Akhamenehpour (talk • contribs) 23:13, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Hard to find English sources for people in the middle east. I added a couple of rough sources, and it appears that there are plenty more. I hate to beat a dead horse, but the nom keeps saying "either it should be sourced or deleted" and simply is NOT the policy here. WP:DEADLINE covers this, and others. If there isn't any sources to be found, then yes, I am all over the delete !vote. But to keep nominating and demand that we all jump and find the sources that DO exist, and YOU can go see them yourself, is a bit unreasonable. Assuming you search before you nom an article, if you find any decent sources, you can't nom. If you really feel they are borderline, why don't you just tag the article instead of flooding AFD with articles that HAVE sources? PHARMBOY ( moo ) ( plop ) 00:53, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep until a native speaker says sources don't exist. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 03:41, 31 October 2008 (UTC)`[reply]
Weak delete This is a little more of a problem, and the nomination was not unreasonable--the article contains material that is evaluative of the subject on a personal basis, and article in the only link, an Iranian newspaper, does not strike me as reliable. I don't think this can stay in unless stubiffied or sourced. Thus the reason way these sort of nominations are not a good idea--they fail to highlight the actual problems.

Delete as not meeting WP:BIO. There is an LATimes article that has been added. It contains a quote among others from the subject. It is not nontrivial coverage. Article lacks significant third party sourcing. Dloh cierekim 07:32, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the 'Net worth' is just unnecessary and silly. The point of infoboxes are to show outstanding info. - ÆÅM «(fætsøn!) 12:10, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No one has expressed any willingness to fix the articles failings. So why keep it? ChildofMidnight (talk) 20:23, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
