While this article has been on enwiki for quite some time, it does not appear to meet GNG standards, I feel the article needs more attention from other colleagues, as it was written by Pouya sh, who is the son of Mahmoud shoolizadeh and has been updating article since long time, I did some research in english and farsi about the subject, and couldn't find enough coverage.

The article cites a number of sources, but it's not immediately clear if they're enough to meet the GNG or a relevant SNG: some comments would be appreciated.

 * Weak Delete - This guy seems pretty close to the line. He's got some direct coverage in the Florida Times Union. He also has indirect coverage in the Brunswick News and Variety magazine. He also seems to have directed the notable film Noora. I'm not sure if there are special notability rules for directors, but I don't think this guys meets WP:GNG.

 * Weak Delete. I found that only one independent reliable source, the Florida Times-Union, covered this guy significantly. None of the other sources in the article give independent reliable significant coverage and I was unable to find other sources that do, so I find that the article fails WP:GNG. There is an applicable SNG: WP:DIRECTOR. I don't think that has been met as there is no evidence of a new or original concept being invented (criteria 2), and I don't see evidence of him being regarded as important with no evidence of him being cited (criteria 1). His movies are likely significant, for instance, see Susan (film) and The Debt (2014 film) and the awards they have one. In my opinion, these awards make at least some of his movies significant. However, in order to satisfy the third criterion in that SNG the movies must also have been the primary subject of "multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" and I didn't find any evidence of that. Finally, his works aren't a significant monument, probably have not been a substantial part of an exhibition, have not won significant critical attention as far as I am aware (unless those movie festivals count), and aren't in the collections of museums (criteria 4). I don't think he meets the GNG or the applicable SNG. Danre98 ( talk ^ contribs ) 16:41, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
