Possible WP:COI. Fails WP:GNG as of now. Article is also available in Draft:Reza Shariffi which maybe accepted later if notability could be established. JAaron95 &#40; Talk &#41;  17:36, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep The article requires cleanup, yes, because it is not written in encyclopedic tone, contains some unsourced statements, and has some other general issues; but that is not a valid reason for deletion. The nominator's main concern seems to be notability, but notability is established by significant coverage in reliable sources which are independent of the subject.  As nominated (prior to any cleanup) this article cites two such sources:
 * I have taken the liberty of providing full citations rather than the bare urls which the article uses. Moreover, the subject of the article has won several major awards for his costume design work, including an IIFAA, which appears to be roughly equivalent to the Oscars in the U.S.
 * The nominator also mentions that it is a possible conflict of interest, but (1) that's not a reason to delete the article if the person is notable and (2) I'm not sure what gives the nominator that impression. The article reads like it was written by a fan, but not the subject himself or an employee.  In short; no reason to delete, keep and cleanup. ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 18:04, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep per meeting inclusion criteria through awards and nominations notable to his industry. Also a bit of WP:BEFORE appears to show meeting WP:GNG as well. Pardon me, but did you look at WP:ANYBIO before declaring a lack of notability?  Costume designers can and have been found notable, and we have no need to delete what can be further expanded and sourced.  Kudos to  for his efforts serving Wikipedia and its readers.
