Sepideh Jodeyri
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This person fails WP:BIO and no reliable source in English and Persian has pointed her notability. The sources of the article are two generalist newspaper which is not at all enough for notability. There are tens of literary magazines in Iran and I didn't find good things about her on this online database.Farhikht (talk) 13:14, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - per nom, fails WP:BIO and WP:GNG. I can't find any evidence of significant coverage. Claritas § 16:14, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Sepideh Jodeyri seems to be an important exponent of Iranian literature - poet, translator, organizer (additionally, some of the sources suggest her participation in the local feminist movement). I found coverage in multiple languages: Persian,, English, Dutch. The translation of the titles of refs in the Iranian article looks reliable. I admit, this is just my conjecture that's based on my instinct rather than careful analysis. However, that's all I can do, this article needs an attention of people familiar with the Iranian cultural scene and language. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 08:39, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment- This source is about the Khorshid Prize and not about the poet. As I know, self published work is not reliable as a means to establish notability and accroding to this, her work has to be the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.Farhikht (talk) 11:20, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * It is an interview with the poet, am I right? Is she an organizer of the Khorshid Prize? --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 11:44, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes. In fact, she is the founder of the prize.Farhikht (talk) 12:10, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm, here is an interesting Swedish article about the prize. Publishing and promotion of woman's poetry in Iran seems to be quite complicated. Farhikht, please, could you look carefully at the Google Search result for the Persian version of her name? Some of the listed pages link to the reliable news servers. Google translator is weak and I can't read the script. Thank you. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 12:34, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I checked it. Most of them are blogs, and some are little things (and not reviews) about her books. This link didn't work. In Iran we have many literary magazines and I think that a wikipedia article about a poet need this kind of source.Farhikht (talk) 13:02, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your effort, Farhikht. I'm still inclined to keep the article. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 13:15, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Good luck to you.Farhikht (talk) 13:25, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
