Farsad Fotouhi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article fails to meet notability requirements. Much of the content previously contained in article was irrelevant text about the subject's brother's jealously for the subject. When that is removed, the rest fails WP:BLP1E and WP:GNG.  Imzadi 1979  →   22:34, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete The referencs are all about Pall Corporation, not about Fotouhi. (The material in the articles ought to be incorporated into the article about Pall, where this unpleasant info is completely absent.) Fotouhi fails WP:N Tapered (talk) 04:08, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep (Predictable, right?) Farsad Fotouhi is a major player who in great part will determine whether or not the MDEQ fulfills its mission, plus his interconnections with various levels of government and academia are having profound consequences for the people of Michigan. All the relevant information is hiding in plain sight in plenty of "reliable sources" but the dots still need connecting. Bumps on 94 (talk) 21:29, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
 * "Bumps on 94" is the originator of the article. Please show dots to connect! Tapered (talk) 05:21, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm only aware of some of the dots (but I am still sure Farsad is a major player in this). For one thing, if it was so important to have the dioxane database at a university, why not the University of Michigan? Why Wayne State? Bumps on 94 (talk) 21:46, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect to Pall Corporation, where there is already a paragraph about him. In a search the only source I found about him is his public response to a Dioxane spill by the corporation. This article appears to have been written primarily as an attack page on his brother; that material has fortunately been deleted. --MelanieN (talk) 18:38, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Pall Corporation. Maybe it's not our place to sort out whether Farsad is more evil than Farshad or to what extent Farshad is envious of his younger brother's 7-figure salary at Pall. Let's just not forget that for every good person slandered (e.g., John Seigenthaler), there are two bad persons who get to slide with their crimes unmentioned.

 * Delete Unless this is a very rare coproation, he is best described as "a vice presdent". They almost always have more than one. No clear claim to notability, just routine communications with the media on issues related to his company.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:12, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Move to Pall Corporation - I agree with Johnpacklambert above but Pall Corporation is still the most relevant article and my searches obviously found no signficant and notable sources here, here and here (some of the same results) with nothing at Highbeam and thefreelibrary.
