Arash Markazi[edit]

Does not appear to be fully notable for inclusion. Subject also apparently asked for deletion. Lawrence Cohen 19:56, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Regular writer for one of the most popular publications in the US. Gamaliel (Angry Mastodon! Run!) 20:10, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: This AfD was apparently done without reading this important point of conversation from the discussion on the BLP Noticeboard. Other than the notability question, which I agree is not the case since its a columnist for a major national magazine, all that was left was the email that I received but mentioned I was going to first clarify with the subject. This AfD nomination was hasty and did not take into account the facts. --Bobak (talk) 20:22, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep, per Bobak, and the fact that he writes for sports illustrated. R. Baley (talk) 20:29, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - was a hasty nom, considering. Avruchtalk 20:44, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep if people can request deletion of articles about them, then wikipedia will become a collaction of CVs for self=publicists. Lobojo (talk) 23:26, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
