Fails WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR. Classic example of a promotional article: scientist, philosopher, artist, writer, poet, literary critic, translator, and human rights activist! According to this official source, all books by Javanbakht has been published by a single publisher (Arvin) and if you click on the list of books published by this the publisher (Blue tag, down of the page, here), you see that Arvin published 10 books in a span of two years (2003-2004), all by Javanbakht. So we can consider her a "self-published" poet. Farhikht (talk) 12:24, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Blatant promotion by herself or by someone in her circle (note correspondences with her website, e.g. In others' books). Superficially it is impressive, but the only real claim to notability appears to be her work as a scientist, and I think she fails WP:NACADEMIC here as well. Much of the 'polymath' umbrella term applies to nothing more than elevated hobbies. Curiocurio (talk) 17:56, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
