 * Keep. I'm a bit surprised at the "no coverage in English or farsi" claim, as there clearly is coverage in English, and since he is active in Dubai I would except the second search to be in Arab (which I'm incapable of). Coverage includes this full article in The National (Abu Dhabi) from 2015 (the same newspaper also features him as an expert in other articles like here, with a short note about him; the same happens e.g. in the Arabian Gazette). Enterprise Asia wrote a long profile of him when they awarded him the "Most Promising" award in 2016. In 2019 The Recycler gave a long summary of a 2 hour interview he gave to Game Changers AsiaOne features him as a "leader". Tahawultech also interviewed him. Arabian Business interviewed him as an expert. Oh, and he's married to Nicole Rodrigues. It would be good if someone could look for sources in Arabic. Yo delete this because there is "no coverage in English" seems rather bizarre. Fram (talk) 07:34, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Since when is being married to someone a reason for keeping? I did look in Arabic and found nothing but considering he's Iranian, I also looked for sources in farsi/persian and it was the same, further the sources you included are almost all name drops or interviews and are not independent coverage. this is a non notable award.

 * I didn't say that being married to someone is a keep reason, but it would ake a good redirect target at the very least. How is e.g. this not independent coverage? It is an interview, yes, but a lot of it is about him, not just an interview about the company. In fact, I think all sources I gave are independent coverage, not sources affiliated with him. How is the Asia One page about him not independent, or a name drop or interview? It is a full profile of him in a reliable source. Fram (talk) 07:00, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete a non-notable businessman.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:01, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment I have looked in Arabic and found nothing, which is odd as he has a very distinctive name. Mccapra (talk) 11:44, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep is a notable entrepreneur hence being nominated in different awards of entrepreneurs in U.A.E. Sidedeans —Preceding undated comment added 09:15, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete In Arabic there's only 2 websites mentioned his name among other names. Also about "Business Leader of the Year 2014 in Meed Awards", really! first of all this award non notable one, also the linkٍ said "Among the recipients were" as there's a lot of recipients! and sources (most of them not mentioned info. that used for): (13/12/4) taking about the award, (11) main page of website, (10) not mentioned Sassan, (9) twitter, (8) only mentioned his name once on long article, (7) main page of website, (6/5/2/3) I don't know if this website reliable, (1) not work for me. So from what I read, he is non-notable person, and maybe he can mentioned with few details about his company/award on his wife article -- Alaa )..! 13:58, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
