Saleh Sokhandan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Subject is not notable per WP:CREATIVE. The article is riddled with primary sources; his own websites; his own youtube channel. His only claim to notability is his participation in a TV show, where he didn't do particularly well. Vexations (talk) 19:22, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete – Clear-cut case of a promotional article about a non-notable artist. It's basically an autobiographical article by proxy, as the userpage of the person who wrote the entire article states, in a rare display of honesty: "This user, in accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use, discloses that he has been paid by Saleh Sokhandan for his contributions to Saleh Sokhandan."

 * Speaking of, it might be a good idea to take a good look at Seyed Ali Jaberi, the other article mentioned on the userpage, which apparently was also written in exchange for a payment by the article's subject. Ealuscerwen (talk) 20:08, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete — Per reason provided by & rationale by . It’s a promotional article for an individual seeking Wikipedia presence. Celestina007 (talk) 22:10, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I must admit I missed the non-reliable sources in the references due to the whole load of Persian sources, not being able to read Persian, I took it at face value. I think I'm not going to touch anything not having English references... - Rich T&#124;C&#124;E-Mail 00:03, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Wise decision - so why vote delete now? Johnbod (talk) 00:37, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Good point - Rich T&#124;C&#124;E-Mail 02:52, 22 June 2020 (UTC)


 * I'm guessing none of us can read the Persian references. Really they need to be checked out by someone who speaks the language. That he doesn't have any sources in English isn't very conclusive. Johnbod (talk) 00:37, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Can you ask a trusted person who can read Persian to review these resources? for example . WPooya (talk) 03:02, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Perhaps an uninvolved editor from Category:User_fa-N? Vexations (talk) 11:02, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, exactly. WPooya (talk) 20:14, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
