Delete does not meet the notability guidelines for football players.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:33, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Futsal players are not covered by NFOOTY and need to satisfy GNG.

Delete; fails WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG. - Yellow Dingo (talk) 23:36, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It's not clear that WP:NFOOTY actually encompasses futsal and WP:FPL a) doesn't mention futsal at all b) and doesn't list this league as being fully professional (or not). It should also be noted for anyone wanting to improve the article per WP:ATD, his name is often listed as "Hamid Reza Rahanjam" or "Hamid Reza RahAnjam" different than how the article title is listed. Since the subject of the article is from Iran, you'll need to expand your search beyond English Google News accordingly. Hmlarson (talk) 17:52, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
