- Comment Having published three (or any number of) books is not sufficient to confer notability on an author - please see WP:AUTHOR. --gråb whåt you cån (talk) 09:46, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Thank you for your comment and reference. Citing criteria #2 on WP: AUTHOR, this author has pioneered a new approach to poetry, merging concepts in quantum physics with those in Sufism or Erfan. No poet, prior to this author, has taken this approach. In addition it's noteworthy that the author's post revolution work was banned in Iran for its biting criticism of the Iranian regime (see his poem Zahede Makkar in Shofar magazine - reference #5 in the main article).
