Despite the article's good format, he is not a really notable person. This article has been deleted twice in Persian Wikipedia long ago. (EDIT) And absolutely no results in google news and newspaper, but there are good results in google books. Leyth (talk) 19:45, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Notable academics often have little or no coverage in Google news or newspapers. I tidied this article up a bit a couple of months ago and found the subject quite interesting. Varaki's sphere of interest is quite niche but his contribution is considered important as his international approach straddles Western, European and Arabic traditions. The article is reasonably sourced, but I accept that notability is marginal. I cannot comment on the articles that have been deleted from the Persian Wikipedia as the rationales for those deletions are not in English. Poltair (talk) 21:32, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

 * keep he has many publications on Google Scholar as a famous researcher. In addition to, his activities listed on ORCID number and academic notworks like ResearchGate and Academia.edu. He is a famous academics and researcher in Iran. I did a google search for his Persian name (بختیار شعبانی ورکی) and many pages found about it. Finally, i suggest that his page remain on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.143.248.48 (talk) 07:52, 18 August 2015 (UTC)  — 46.143.248.48 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete as lacking google scholar references: most cited paper has 15 cites, which is not even close to what is expected under WP:NACADEMICS. Stuartyeates (talk) 10:19, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NACADEMICS. Publishing a lot of papers merely makes you prolific, not notable. nailed it, his published material is rarely cited.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:37, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
