 * Comment, appears to have been a senior figure in iranian revolution/khomeini regime an english gsearch brings up quite a lot of info ie. Araghi was one of the central committee of the Islamic Republican Party, Washington Post - "Rights Violations Under Khomeini Rival Shah's Era" (a mention, confirms he is director of Qasr Prison), The Persian Sphinx - couple of mentions, Iran issued a stamp on the 10th anniversary of his death, "Assassination of Haj Mehdi Araghi and his son by Forqan group" - a biography on the Islamic Revolution Document Center website, "Mehdi Araghi" - a biography on the Cultural Website of Martyrdom and Sacrifice website, from Reuters - "IRAN: GUERRILLA'S ASSASSINATE MANAGER OF TEHERAN'S LEADING NEWSPAPER AND HIS SON - The murdered manager Haj Araghi had appeared in a television interview only a week before, to explain how he and other members of the Fedayan guerrilla group had plotted the murder of the Shah's Prime Minister Hassan Ali Mansour in February 1965. The radio described Haj Araghi as one of Ayatollah Khomeini's most devoted followers who spent fifteen years in the Shah's jails. It said he was one of a handful of people allowed to greet the religious leader on his return from exile.", "Mohammad Mehdi Araghi was the director of Motalefeh Party as the remains of Fadaeean Islam, who Khomeini was very proud of ..".

 * Keep sources given above show notability. These need to be integrated into the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:56, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Besides the sources pointed out by Coolabahapple above, I'll note the fawiki entry and that in my Persian BEFORE it seems this individual's assassination anniversary is noted as an event on the Islamic revolutionary calendar cycle in Iran with recurring yearly press releases - e.g. . While I wouldn't regard Iranian regime controlled sources reliable for individuals venerated by the revolution, such revolutionary "saints" (in this case - a martyr who was a companion to Khomeini) do get SIGCOV.
