 * comment, I have no idea or interest, but tagged it with WikiProject Azerbaijan to see if those folks think it worthy.

Keep for the moment, to let the WikiProject Azerbaijan folks give it a look. Realkyhick 09:27, 2 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Is Evan Siegel an Azeri? If not then I don’t see why you added Azeri tag to his biography! Siegel is one of the prominent experts on the middle east affairs and has many books and publications on the subject and well respected in the field! I added the article as a stub but someone removed the stub! I need time to gather some information and I am hoping others will start working on it too. Kiumars

 * Delete unless properly sourced and referenced i.a.w. WP:BIO and WP:V by end of this AfD Alf photoman 18:15, 2 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per MER-C, unsourced, gives no reason why we should think he's notable. Publishing academic papers is no guarantee of notability. Moreschi Deletion! 21:37, 2 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - non-notable. Turgidson 06:12, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The "books" listed are articles in collections, and the translation from Kasravi, (which was actually printed last year). Searching in RLIN shows nothing else. While more than I've done for the world, is this notability? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 03:51, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hold - long list of publications suggests notability, and it will take time to verify them, and he has two resumes: an above par Middle East history and an average Maths teaching history. The first query I have is whether the publications listed as "Middle East Studies Association" are MESA. John Vandenberg 21:33, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * John, its the only possible fit, so it is. DGG 01:10, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes it is MESA see http://mesa.wns.ccit.arizona.edu/index.htm &

 * keep The list of articles is enough to establish notability. The items in books  add to it. DGG 01:12, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * keep - Needs some work on categorization. --lquilter 05:01, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable in the field. Thank you Kiumars. John Vandenberg 16:16, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
