 * Keep, is a notable Iranian character. I'm expanding the article and adding multiple sources. Also translating from the larger article in Persian. Illuminator123 (talk) 00:31, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, he is a notable Iranian personality. He has written many books on various subjects, including poetry. Historian and scholar Juan Cole calls him "a prominent historian of the Babi and Baha'i movements in Iran." Serv181920 (talk) 06:56, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Juan Cole, like Abd al-Hosayn Ayati, is an ex-Baha'i who went on a campaign of defaming the Baha'is. His promotion of Abd al-Hosayn Ayati is self-serving bologne and shouldn't be used to establish notability. Cuñado ☼ - Talk  18:10, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I have added more than enough sources to show that he was both notable as an Iranian poet, author, historian, and orator and also a very important Baha'i character. Illuminator123 (talk) 22:17, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Baha'i leader Shoghi Effendi called him the "foremost historian of the Bahá'í Faith." Serv181920 (talk) 08:56, 3 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep. The Iranica entry appears to meet WP:ANYBIO.  WP:NAUTHOR also appears plausible or likely -- note that the pattern of reviews for a person active in the pre-internet era may be somewhat different. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 10:49, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep The substantial coverage of his arabic language works alone should make the subject notable by wp:academicBrxBrx(talk)(please reply with BrxBrx ) 18:19, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
