I think this is a hoax, but it's a curious one. Most of it has been around, completely unsourced, since April 2007 when it was posted by, who has no other edits.. A year later the second half of the last paragraph, an attack on one AzKurd Bakhu, was added by an IP,. Google finds about 50 hits; any kind of practising musician gets far more than that. The hits are either Wikipedia mirrors of this story or about a Swedish player of "BJJ" which seems to be something like judo. At any rate, there is absolutely no confirmation for this story of an Iranian "national superstar" guitarist. Maybe it's a joke by the friends of the BJJ-player? Anyway, Delete as either a complete hoax or absolutely non-notable. JohnCD (talk) 22:41, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete There's nothing on the net about this person that I could find. Looks like a clear hoax. ChildofMidnight (talk) 23:19, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoax. Given the claims in the article about major hits and so on, the lack of any locatable references is telling.  As an aside, BJJ refers to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which is, in fact, something like judo. gnfnrf (talk) 23:40, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
