Fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:GNG, AUTHOR points 1-4 are visibly not met, while the only sources I saw on him were "Daryabandari" released from hospital" and mirrors of the original copyvio, which IMO do not meet the GNG "significant coverage" requirement. Buggie111 (talk) 18:44, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Added two additional Persian sources, one of which from Hamshahri has some biographical details for expanding the article. Translators rarely get much coverage, much less Iranians translating into Persian. The works he is translating are significant/important, he has "rendered works of some of the world's greatest authors into Persian", and he has decent coverage in reliable Iranian sources. I don't think we could expect much more for an Iranian Persian-translator. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 20:07, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - agree with Green Cardamom but the article needs improvement. Spada II ♪♫ (talk) 07:50, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep There is not internet database of his works; I am trying to gather from here and there(99% persian sources). He is also a writer. He has dedicated all his life mostly on translating but also writing; number of his works are magnificent and his pen is magic. I am collecting more and more data, but it takes time. Please wait for it. Also, he has written a cook book that it is republishing 2 times each year and does not stand in the market for long. Every Iranian is familiar with his name. maryam faridounnia (talk) 18:09, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep the Persian sources seem quite supportive. I would say that he passes WP:AUTHOR #1. --Bejnar (talk) 06:11, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
