Fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:PROF. Notability hasn't been adequately established either. The subject was the head of Persian studies at a university, but such a position alone is not enough to pass WP:PROF. The books the subject authored/translated don't seem to be notable, and the references in the current article are on Sufism, and they don't even mention the subject's name. — Stringy Acid (talk) 09:52, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Strong delete per WP:GNG and, more pertinently, WP:NOTPROPAGANDA. If the subject was known for his translations, then there would be reliable sources other than those published/plagiarized by the Sultan Bahu cult. The group has seen a string of accounts created by its supporters blocked for systematically using Wikipedia as a means of promotion for anything related to their cult, and this article appears to be a prime example of that: no actual notability except for this Wikipedia article itself, which is the entire goal.

 * Delete - appears to be a WP:Coatrack to promote the ideas, and the books, (one of several started by the same author), rather than a biography of a notable person - Arjayay (talk) 10:26, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
