Doesn't appear to meet WP:BIO, although the fact that the sources are all in Persian/Arabic means that I can't examine them for reliability. Stifle (talk) 19:42, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:AGF, unless someone who can read them checks out the sources and finds them not to be sufficient for notability. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:53, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. It would appear that both of the subject's names can be transliterated differently: this web site refers to him as "Zia' Movahhed". Phil Bridger (talk) 20:57, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. His university bio spells his name "Zia Movahed" and refers to several awards. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:03, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. According to this he's a "well known name in Iran's literary world" and "one of Iran's prominent art and literary figures", and this newspaper saw fit to report on his being the first Iranian to be invited to the Rotterdam International Poetry Festival. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:34, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per the sources found by Phil Bridger. --Crusio (talk) 22:14, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
