Fairly long term and largely unsourced biographical article about a football referee. From the scant news coverage in English I can see that he is certainly a FIFA international referee who was born in 1974, but there appears little else written about him—beyond the notes that X is the referee for match Y. All I can see that we can source is that he exists, and has a certain job. Although he is listed as having won some refereeing awards there appears far too little written about him in the press to support a biographical article. That said perhaps there is more that is not in English ? Peripitus (Talk) 02:30, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

At present the reference simply confirm that he has refereed some matches - there is no commentary on him - Peripitus (Talk) 04:08, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. He is a up and coming referee in Iran and is notable because after nearly 20 years he was one of the first Iranian refs to call the Tehran Derby.Nokhodi (talk) 09:06, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Dear Peripitus, He's one of the most important referees in Iran and west Asia. I can find reliable references in Persian Language. Amirreza ^talk 17:20, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The given sources are relevant, and as his career develops, so will the sources that will state him. His inclusion in the Tehran derby is a strong point in this article. I believe this article has done a good job maintaining somewhat of a focus on that topic. Kasperone ^talk 13:53 21 Februaury 2010 (UTC)
