delete Looks like a recreation of an article earlier deleted as Article about a real person, which does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject. I still see no notability. It is backed up by one source, that I can not find using the ISBN... The Banner talk 12:34, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It has a featured article on another wiki. So I would say we must keep it instead of deleting. It just needs improvement. I'm busy right now but I will improve the article as soon as possible. Thanks. The Stray Dog Talk Page 15:41, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Each Wiki is a separate project and the fact that he has a page on another wiki doesn't make him automatically notable. You originally created the article in August 2016. It went through an AFD and there was no consensus. It was then speedily deleted in septembre 2016 as not credibly indicating the importance of the subject. You recreated it June 2017 and it was nominated for a speedy delete A7 and you removed this tag yourself which you should not have done. It is now going through another AFD. I think that after over a year of creation and then deletion as not being notable you should really have had enough time to find at least 1 source that helps prove notability.

Keep Notable author who meets Wikipedia guidelines. Just because many of the citations about this author aren't in English doesn't change his notability.--SouthernNights (talk) 23:11, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Which sources are you talking about? Are they reliable sources? Who were they written by and what do they say about this author? Domdeparis (talk) 09:08, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: are there any sources other than his own book? I did actually find it using the 10-digit ISBN [[1]] which was the only result, rest were phone numbers. The 13-digit ISBN had exactly one result. ArcticDragonfly (talk) 21:24, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- The Mazanderani version has I think 4-5 sources, including one which seems to be from a news site, but it may be difficult to get someone who can find and read them. ansh 666 06:57, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
