Ali Zandipour

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:GNG according to sources cited and ones found during a WP:BEFORE search. It's worth noting that WP:NFOOTBALL does not cover futsal so there is no presumption of notability that can be applied to any of his roles (the roles that he has taken in football are far too insignificant to grant automatic notability). Full source analysis to follow, which will include sources that I found myself. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 21:14, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - fails GNG and NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 21:28, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails GNG due to lack of significant coverage. Also, per Notability (sports), there is no automatic notability for passing a SNG. Passing one only means that the subject is supposedly likely to pass GNG, it still has to pass it. Alvaldi (talk) 23:31, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - I am very surprised that this article was nominated for deletion !! The sources are quite authoritative. Some sources are English and some sources are Persian. Ali Zandipour is a professional futsal coach who coaches in the Iranian Futsal Super League and is the official instructor of the Asian Futsal Confederation. In 2 of the sources, it has been referred to the official website of the Iranian Football Federation. Pournia (talk) 05:14, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The two sources that you refer to FFIRI 1 and FFIRI 2 do not show any significant coverage of him whatsoever. The sources being authoritative is not a valid criterion. Sources need to do more than just confirm that the man exists and that he has a job. If anything, it would also be better if coverage came from organisations not directly associated with Zandipour as well. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 08:40, 13 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete While I agree that the sources and coverages for this subject are weak and lacking, there are some that do exist. Until more sources can be provided I am going to have to vote to delete.--Canyouhearmenow 03:29, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
