This page was originally up for speedy deletion under A7, but I declined it because the article makes claims of notability. I think that this poet might be notable enough, because he appears to have won national journalism awards and has been connected to censorship practices in Iran. There aren't a lot of google hits, but many of them are in Arabic, so I can't read them. I did manage to find one article in English that mentions him. Overall, I'm ambivalent about this article. I stand by my declination of the speedy, but if the community decides that there just isn't enough out there about this guy, it should be deleted. Danaman5 (talk) 09:31, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment to add to above: I should also mention that I was searching for the romanization of his name in Google. If you searched for his name written in Arabic script, you would probably get more results. Unfortunately, I don't know Arabic.--Danaman5 (talk) 18:18, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• And I stand by my opinion it should be deleted, my reasoning behind that opinion can be found here.Shoombooly (talk) 09:39, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Or at least postpone the decision long enough to give anyone out there with relevant knowledge time to do a clean-up. If this was properly referenced then the notability issues might be addressed. But the article was only created in May and tagged in June, hardly seems time for people to take action to fix things before being deleted.Austin46 (talk) 10:02, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
