Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amir Madaninejad


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   Delete. None of the "stop delete" !votes provide evidence of the notability of this individual - basically saying "I know he is notable" is not sufficient evidence. No reliable sources of information were found so the information in the article cannot be verified. The consensus here is clearly to delete. --  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 09:00, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Note: An IP (the one voting below) changed my vote above to "stop delete", the same wording used by all the other keep voters. I've changed it back. Hairhorn (talk) 18:09, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment Whether or not he passes WP:BIO is irrelevent if no sources are presented in the article. WP:Verifiability is policy, and is strictly enforced for biographies. I've just had to remove a bunch of external links that pointed to sites that did not mention Madaninejad at all. Those above who have mentioned "various sources" may wish to actually provide some full citations. Marasmusine (talk) 17:45, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Using google; zero News hits. Zero Scholar hits. Zero Image hits. Zero Book hits. Web search has a single page of hits, most of which are nonsense spam pages, the remainder are broken or contain no useful information. So it looks like any sources are going to be from Iran - I await citations from the above users. Marasmusine (talk) 17:50, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Stop Delete Amir Madaninejad is well known in Iran. Majority of iranian know his family so it is wrong to suggest the article is not true.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by British-broadcast (talk • contribs) 20:32, 6 February 2010 (UTC)  — British-broadcast (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * You've already voted once before (at least). AFD is about generating consensus, not about vote stacking. If he's so notable, then please add the sources demonstrating notability. Simply asserting that he's notable won't save the entry from deletion. Hairhorn (talk) 20:59, 6 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Stop Delete We Have added a source regarding to the article Madaninejad, Most of the sources are coming from Iran. We will Update more sources as soon as we have them.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by British-broadcast (talk • contribs) 14:48, 7 February 2010 (UTC)  — British-broadcast (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * You didn't add any sources at all (see Citing sources for help). All you did was add an external link to Madaninejad's own webpage, which has almost no content, none of it relevant ("here are picture of boats in my hometown") and hasn't been updated for more than 3 years. And please stop voting already. Hairhorn (talk) 14:54, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

We have found more sources regarding Madaninejad's family and they books from Texas https://txspace.tamu.edu/handle/1969.1/5750 for future reference please search for Madaninejad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by British-broadcast (talk • contribs) 14:58, 7 February 2010 (UTC) — British-broadcast (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * You're linking to a relative's PhD thesis? That doesn't make them notable, and it certainly doesn't make Amir Madaninejad notable, he's not even mentioned in the link. Hairhorn (talk) 15:06, 7 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Obviously non-notable. Of the six reference links provided, five are to the websites of organizations or companies which are mentioned in the writeup, but which say nothing about this young man himself. The sixth is to a personal website. He's still a student for heavens sake! His claims to fame are 1) he's the son of a millionaire, 2) he's a trainee junior architect, 3) he might have had something to do with the production of a movie and a TV series. Meanwhile, the wording of comments makes it clear that many of the votes in this thread are from sockpuppets. --MelanieN (talk) 03:06, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
