The result was Keep but consider repurposing. But consider repurposing the article to be about the death(s). People have made valid claims about the notability of the latter event(s), while the discussion of the individual leans more into the "not notable" direction Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:46, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Ali Saremi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:NPERSON. Only coverage from trivial mention in Amnesty International document and primary source interview with subject's son. Speedy denied because article claims Saremi was longest serving political prisoner in Iran, which provided sources do not support.

 * Delete: Does not pass GNG. -- M h hossein   talk 12:57, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Would you consider changing your vote to keep so I may withdraw? The page has been updated with sources that did not appear when I did WP:BEFORE, and I now believe it possesses adequate notability. Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 18:22, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Hey. He's certainly non-notable. The event of his death may be, though. -- M h hossein   talk 14:05, 27 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep: He was an Iranian prominent prisoner and article is notable for human rights case in Iran that was widely covered in the press. Nikoo.Amini (talk) 15:03, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep but rename to "Death of Ali Saremi" or "Murder of Ali Saremi" - the event may meet GNG, but not the individual  Orville1974  (talk) 18:45, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
 * How would his execution be any more notable, given the sources provided? Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 18:58, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
 * - the death seems more notable than the life; that's what brought out the human rights repsonse. And as a series, the prisoner deaths become more notable.  Ideally, there would be one article about the series of Iranian prisoner deaths, and the associated human rights response, with a list of victims, but until someone writes that article, I think renaming the existing articles to focus on each individual's murder is a step closer to consolidating the series  Orville1974  (talk) 19:10, 21 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep I agree with the above, that this passes the test of notability and is a significant beginning. If someone is able to do more let them take off from here. Do be careful, though, this may be risky business. Jzsj (talk) 00:56, 22 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep but rename I would be fine with "Death of Ali Saremi" or something along those lines. Ypatch (talk) 18:09, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per Orville1974. --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:11, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Spending more than 20 years as a political prisoner makes Ali Saremi Notable. --MA Javadi (talk) 18:17, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per Orville1974.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 19:41, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename per WP:HEY, WP:BIO1E and Orville1974. The sources added since it was listed meet the GNG, though the article and coverage are mostly centered around 1 event. Alpha3031 (t • c) 08:42, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
