Contested PROD. All references are copies of the same press release in different unreliable sources, a video clip from a self-upload site and a promotionally written IMDB page. His only claim to fame is having 1.2 million followers on Instagram but given the complete lack of coverage outside of paid press and self-published works it's very possible that Salehi simply bought a bunch of followers.

Delete - I agree with the nominator. All sources on this "media personality" are unreliable blogs, typical industry listings, and self-created press releases. This Wikipedia article is just part of the self-promotional effort and was probably created by a user with a conflict of interest. Until this person's media career takes off for real, Wikipedia is not a promotional service. When searching, note that there are other people of the same name with LinkedIn accounts and the like. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:44, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete: The subject might meet criterion 2 of WP:ENT given his social media following, but fails WP:GNG, as far as I can tell. He has been in a couple of big films, although his roles seem to have been relatively minor. It's a bit WP:TOOSOON for an article on the subject, I think.
