Contested prod, notability tag also removed, but my concerns remain. The article is about a Iranian medical researcher at Oxford University. A Google Scholar search doesn't throw up anything to indicate that he passes WP:PROF. Notability is claimed on the basis of his extra-curricular work for "Network of Iranians for Knowledge and Innovation" (NIKI) and "Advancement Initiative for Medicine and Science" (AIMS), but I have been unable to find reliable third-party sources that mention him in either context (in fact, I can find no Google hits for the AIMS body apart from its own website). A couple of webpages in Persian are used as sources, but Google Translate indicates that mentions of this individual are trivial at best. Delete. BencherliteTalk 22:01, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete The organization that he might or might not be part of doesn't seem notable in itself. Agree with all above. NativeForeigner Talk/Contribs 00:40, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
