Hajj Amin Elahi[edit]

2nd nomination. No assertion of notability (tagged since Feb. 2008); unreferenced (other than a death notice; tagged since Jan. 2008). Someone had applied a {{prod}} tag today, but this had been previously discussed at AfD about a year ago, which makes it ineligible for WP:PROD. Subject to two previous speedy deletions, once for copyvio, and second for CSD A7. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 23:52, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As nominator, Delete. As I pointed out in the previous nomination, I also suspect a conflict of interest. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 23:56, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I could find no good evidence of notability upon checking this subject. --Stormbay (talk) 00:45, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There are a couple of passing mentions in this book. Not enough to confirm notability, but it's enough to make it seem worth looking for further sources. Let's see if anyone can find sources in Kurdish or Persian. Phil Bridger (talk) 14:56, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This source was mentioned in the previous AfD. An earlier version of the article had cited the book, but no page numbers; another editor pointed out these specific mentions. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 15:45, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I couldn't find a deletion sorting page for Kurdish issues so I have left a note at Wikipedia talk:Kurdish Wikipedians' notice board. —Phil Bridger (talk) 14:56, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ - Given this bio, and the book mentios above, indications are that this person is a notable tanbour musician, but I suspect that sources are not likely to be found in English. -- Whpq (talk) 18:31, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The bio you mentioned is related to the conflict of interest; see previous AfD. Even aside from those concerns, the website in question seems (to me) more a labor of love (i.e., a primary source, at best) than a reliable source. (I probably should have spelled all this out when I nominated, my apologies.) -- Gyrofrog (talk) 18:45, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - thank you for the clarification - it certainly weakens the argument, so I've amended my opinion. -- Whpq (talk) 21:10, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: no reliable independent 3rd party sources. JamesBurns (talk) 03:36, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I nominated this article for deletion the first time around, pointing out that notability was not established. Judging from the only reliable reference in English where he's only mentioned in passing, the assertion of notability seems unwarranted. In the year since the last AfD closed, nobody has come up with any references in Kurdish or Persian, so at this point I think it's safe to say there won't be any forthcoming.
