Sahar Moghadass
Voting period ends on 28 Oct 2019  at 15:17:03 (UTC)
 * Reason:High quality image of an Iranian singer. Actually government of Iran bans women singers and find a high-quality image of them in commons is very difficult!
 * Articles in which this image appears:Sahar
 * FP category for this image:Featured pictures/People/Artists and writers
 * Creator:MKomeili2019


 * Support as nominator – Maometto97 (talk) 15:17, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I have three concerns: (1) copyright - c:Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by MKomeili2019; (2) is the subject notable - the sourcing is rather crap, there is little indication the subject meets WP:MUSIC and the corresponding article on the Persian Wikipedia has been WP:SALTed; and (3) the topic reeks of undisclosed paid-for spam. Strong oppose until clarification is forthcoming. MER-C 16:34, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
 * About copyright please see photographer's description; About corresponding article I have to say the Persian Wikipedia has strict policy about musicians (Bahram Nouraei is one of the most famous Persian rappers, but I've been trying for a long time to make his article on the Persian Wikipedia!); In addition as I said Iran bans women singers and most of the sources can't write about women singers! --Maometto97 (talk) 20:38, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
 * The photographer has been blocked for sockpuppetry and WP:UPE: Sockpuppet investigations/Tur kboy1. My oppose vote stands, I don't want this article anywhere near the main page. We shouldn't feature spam, period. MER-C 08:30, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
 *  Support The BBC and Tehran Magazine sources probably push her above WP:GNG, and the deletion discussion has been closed as kept, after the uploader gave a good explanation of their appearance elsewhere. I'm AGFing on the Persian-language sources, and the article sourcing is, indeed, crap, but I think we need to seperate article reviews from FPC reviews to SOME extent. I'll throw the article to WP:WikiProject Women in Red. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.1% of all FPs 19:47, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Support No need to bolster Iran's oppressive censorship. Geoffroi  22:02, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose – Looking at other uploads from the uploader, their photos appear to be heavily photoshopped. We should not promote photos edited to remove natural imperfections present in the main subject. I am fine with using them on articles but not for FP. --- Coffee  and crumbs  00:27, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose – Publicity-type glamour shot. Target is stub. Lacks EV. – Sca (talk) 13:45, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I agree with both MER-C (we should not reward undisclosed paid editing sockpuppet rings with front-page exposure) and Sca (this is a generic-looking publicity/glamour shot). —David Eppstein (talk) 19:44, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
