Could find no google hits for Caberet Miami and nothing meaningful for Mahmoud Ghobani---what I did find was not in reference to his owning a Caberet or being an influencial person in Iranian showbiz. Balloonman 14:47, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * As NOM I agree, redirect sounds like the correct response, unless notability can be demonstrated.Balloonman 21:10, 25 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Googoosh. He does seem to have some borderline notability, but practically everything I can find about him on the internet is in reference to his having been married to Googoosh and essentially nothing establishing notability of his own.  If sources can be dug up to show he's independently notable then I'd change to keep, but as far as I can tell the notability belongs to his former wife.

 * That's basically all I could find on him as well... like you, I am more than willing to reconsider my nomination, if contrary evidence can be produced.Balloonman 15:05, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Redir per Arkyan. Nothing in here that isn't already in Googoosh.--SarekOfVulcan 16:16, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect seems like the clear choice. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  16:35, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Googoosh, mostly known for his former marriage.  Jacek  Kendysz  21:16, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I just started his article, and I am not finished with it! since I am a main contributor in Persian and Hebrew Wikipedia, I didn't make enough time to extend that article and to provide links to such sites like BBC (Persian edition etc.) This individual is very well known among the Iranian showbiz. He was involved in Nojeh Coup and was married to the most famous Persian singer Googoosh. if you search his name in Persian it would come with many hits. As I said give me couple days to complete this article if you may. Best Regards: --Kaaveh 05:57, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Kaav, could you give us some more information on what makes him notable? The article on Nojeh Coup doesn't mention him---and even if he was involved with it, was he a central figure?  If not, then what makes him notable?  I do recognize that English sources might be limited on him, but I need something more to hang my hat on to keep this...Balloonman 06:35, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi Balloonman, In a recent interview broadcast on a Los Angeles-based Iranian satellite TV station. He stated that he was a part in the coop which was in favor of Dr. Shapour Bakhtiar. His duties in the coop base on what he claims were to distrbute money and weapons in the Southern District of Tehran. He was also in the 100 most wanted list, upon the victory of the Islamic Revolution. Revolutionaries were ordered to get those 100 people (who were notable symbols of monarch and somehoe related to the system) dead or alive. So I believe he deserves to have an article here. Best Regards --Kaaveh 13:41, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * My gut feeling is that you might be able to get this to the point where it is keepable... my suggestion is that we redirect for now while you establish his independent notability. I would suggest writing the article in a sandbox and then moving it here when it is ready.  Right now, there is nothing that is verifiable to support it... which makes it impossible for me to vote to keep.  But, I it is difficult to vote to delist, because he may be notable just not verifiable... work on that verifiability aspect.Balloonman 15:48, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
