WP:NOTMEMORIAL / WP:BIO1E. Dead 32 years old scientist (or a procurement officer - deputy director of commercial affairs for the Natanz uranium enrichment plant - the scientist label seems to be related to the group as a whole, possibly applied to this individual per the group affilation). No coverage of him of not besides his death and circumstances leading to his death. His death is already amply covered in Assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists - not much to merge, and topic-wise these deaths are treated as a group, and not individually.

 * redirect The article is pretty much only about the assassination, with minimal personal detail. Mangoe (talk) 16:21, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect - I think this is a clear B1E with a clear destination for redirect. Smmurphy(Talk) 02:50, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose The article should be expanded. However, his notability is clear. There are few scientists who are killed due to their involvement in the nuclear program of Iran. The reliable news sources such as huffington post, Guardian, washington post have covered it.-- Seyyed(t-c) 14:29, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Certainly his death has been covered - widely. However that is a WP:BIO1E situation. How is he notable besides his death?Icewhiz (talk) 14:43, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * So we can move it to Assassination of Ahmadi-Roshan-- Seyyed(t-c) 15:45, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * If there is no other appropriate article, however in this case we have Assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists (and had Ahmadi-Roshan been a single death, it might have been un-notable to being with. The string of related deaths here lends notability to the topic).Icewhiz (talk) 16:06, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Redirect to Assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists. There might be a little content worth merging, but the article is largely excessive coverage of blow-by-blow news stories after his death. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 23:50, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * redirect Notability is based on one event and WP is WP:NOTNEWS. A redirect to the assassination article seems best.Sandals1 (talk) 16:09, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
