 * Comment Hmm, 5 patents and 30 papers. If it can be verified then perhaps notable, and a keeper.  Otherwise, nn-bio. --Kgf0 23:27, 18 October 2005 (UTC)  EDIT: Verified US Patent #4,921,629, which is cited by 36 later patents.  IANA Patent Lawyer, so I can't speak to whether that's notable or not.  However, if the article is kept, it is in serious need of cleanup, and right now it is somewhere between a blurb and a Curriculum Vitae, neither of which belong here.  --Kgf0 19:05, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete I can only find two papers on google scholar . Even with patents, he doesn't seem to involved with academia.  --best, kevin  · · · Kzollman | Talk · · · 05:11, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. It seems that the article has been written by the subject contrary to best pactice according to WP:VANITY. Further, it fails to meet our notability guidelines according to WP:BIO and needs sources. However, if Farrokh wants to create a user page, he is welcome to post his data on that.

 * Weak Delete Malihi is already listed at Modern Iranian scientists and engineers, that mention seems sufficient. (btw: patents at, published papers at ) --anetode¹ ² ³ 09:03, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: it would appear that his name was entered on that list by, the creator of Farrokh B. Malihi, so this is none too reliable. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 09:15, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Nevertheless, with those links we now know what the precise claims being made are. They can be now be verified or disproven. &mdash; Haeleth Talk
 * Weak keep if the claims of the article can be verified; they're notable enough. Delete as unverifiable if they can't. The article having apparently been written by the subject is irrelevant: it may not be a good thing, and it means the claims should be checked more thoroughly than otherwise, but it's not grounds for deletion! &mdash; Haeleth Talk 13:25, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. The two papers on google scholar seem not to have been cited by anyone. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 14:27, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete Outright vanity. Delete under A7 Prashanthns 16:49, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
