The subject of this article is a medical doctor. While this doctor does seem to have won numerous awards, he does not seem to have been the subject of significant coverage from independent secondary sources. He has been mentioned in Tehran Times, however this should not be considered a reliable source. Salimfadhley (talk) 07:44, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep If you look here you will see that this doctor is actually a professor too. Per WP:NACADEMIC if he has won a prestigious academic award at the national or international level, he is notable for inclusion. I'm unsure if these awards are prestigious enough though. He won the highly notable Friendship Award in China though, but that is not an academic award. Scorpions13256 (talk) 09:30, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep The doctor is president of many neurobiological organisations and related organisations. I was unable to find any listing of the Tehran Times as an unreliable source, as per WP:RSP --Whiteguru (talk) 11:36, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Appears to be significant just looking at what he is presiding over. He is also covered by the press quite a bit: . He is famous enough that spoofs of him are covered: . Also quite a few google book hits.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 14:04, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
