Mohsen Emadi
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Fails WP:AUTHOR which says that the subject should "created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews". Article seems to be well-referenced, but many of these references are articles he wrote rather than sources about him (like Jaras reformist website, talashonline, iran-chabar, etc), some of them are not independent of the subject (like: shamlou.com, poets.ir), some seems to be reliable but just covered him very briefly (like Radio Farda, El Pais), and many of them are not reliable at all (like: Vazna, 8aaad.com, etc). 2 reviews from IBNA are in fact news on his upcoming book. Even in Persian I couldn't find any review on his works. Farhikht (talk) 14:34, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep : The article does not fail any Wikipedia policy. The subject recently won a Spanish poetry prize; the news also appears in ILNA, Gooya and many other important Iranian news agency beside the Spanish medias. Just a simple search in Persian or Latin could show many other references which are not listed. It seems the user Farhikht, just considers the sources he/she like as a reliable source. Vazna or 8aaad are completely reliable within the filed of Persian modern literature for their reputation, influence and resistance in the situation of censorship in Iran.--Transcelan (talk) 20:20, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:26, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep :Mohsen Emadi was awarded a prize and published two news books since the last nomination for deletion; one of them is a work with well known writers. In addition, he gained much more reference in a meantime. I see absolutely no reason why the article should be deleted. --Newpoesia (talk) 22:57, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Note : Anyone who is interested could Google in Persian("محسن عمادی") or in English("Mohsen Emadi") or in Spanish ("Mohsen Emadí"). I am not familiar with other idioms, Russian or Japanese for example. --Transcelan (talk) 01:05, 6 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep : It looks like to me that the user Farhikht is interested in removing the entry, no matter under which rule and what the content of the entry is. As the creator of the page, I don't see any violation by the entry or its content. Behnam (talk) 18:04, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
