Reversion
Similar to other biographies of members of the Universal House of Justice, this edit of mine was reverted twice so far. This is a living person and per policy:

"Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion. Users who persistently or egregiously violate this policy may be blocked from editing."

I pulled out unsourced, unrelated, or speculative information. In the case of Farzam Arbab, there is only one source that even mentions Farzam Arbab, and it is announcing his retirement, without mentioning any biographical information.

The rest of the original article is essentially unsourced if you remove sources that don't mention Farzam Arbab. It is a classic case of Original Research.

This is your last warning. Any continued reverting without addressing the requirements of biographies of living persons, I will pursue getting you blocked. Cuñado ☼ -  Talk  17:38, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

What is the reason for the deletion for vast sections of this article?
The material being eliminated is well-cited and from objective third party sources. The individual who is the subject of this article is notable for a number of reasons. What is the reason for deletion of the material? Regards, A35821361 (talk) 20:36, 27 July 2017 (UTC)


 * You should refrain from restoring your content until the issue on the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard is resolved. Cuñado  ☼ -  Talk  23:10, 29 July 2017 (UTC)


 * The content is the original article that is under discussion. Regards, A35821361 (talk) 15:23, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

The version that you are reverting to uses only one source that mentions Farzam Arbab, and that source doesn't provide any biographical information. Much of what you had written is unsourced and can be removed without discussion, and your efforts to restore it through edit warring will most likely end with you being blocked.

 * To the contrary, several of the sources mention "Farzam Arbab" by name. Those that do not cover material that is relevant to Arbab's life work, such as his work with FUNDAEC or the Ruhi Institute or his membership of the International Teaching Centre or the Universal House of Justice. I recommend you read the references.  Regards, A35821361 (talk) 09:14, 31 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Here is one example. Your version states: "In 1980, while still a Counsellor, Arbab was on the initial board of directors for the Anís Zunúzí Bahá'í School in Haiti. "
 * The link does not mention anything about the school or Farzam Arbab. Cuñado  ☼ -  Talk  14:44, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

"Well cited" you say? The first whole section, 'Background' has no citation whatsoever despite making some 12 or so "facts". The first citation really does cite that sentence, but then, without substantiating Arbab was a Counselor just cites what Counselors do. This is so far from "Well cite" that is was in dire need of heavy editing and never a spot of cooperation looking for what needed to be found. Just bluster. I've tried cooperating. It doesn't work.

Adding additional biographical information
This article has not been updated for a while and I was linked here from the Ruhi Institute page. Arbab co-founded the Ruhi Institute and it's impact is considerable. I added some missing and easily available biographical information as well as a paragraph on his role in creating the Ruhi system. Three additional citations added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by User:Anthony Michel (talk • contribs) 17 January 2021 (UTC)
