Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Ben Gilani

Dear Sir, This is in regards to an article I've written about an individual called: Ben Gilani. After saving the article I received a notification (Proposed for deletion). I thought I needed to clarify certain facts about this person. Ben Gilani is an Iranian artist. I'm not sure how familiar are you gentlemen with the living, political, economic and financial etc. condition of Iranian people. Ben Gilani lives in a country where the government is literally against artists. Iran is a Islamic country. People in general and artists in particular fear being exposed as they'll be monitored by the government agencies accordingly. I personally know the person I wrote the article about. I met him at Abu Dhabi International Film Festival. He had made several other movies back in Iran and Riding the Rainbow was his first English language film. To my understanding, the reason my article was proposed to be deleted was the fact that there were no enough external links, which I added all what I found. But all the links are in Persian language. I believe if there's anyone who speaks Persian would confidently approve what I have added as a support to my article. In the links I have provided, you can see his website (www.bengilani.com), in which books he has written, His press conferences and newspaper write-ups, his movie trailers etc. are all included. This is an English language website with Persian language newspaper cut outs, books etc. If it helps, I can send you his educational certificates. I guess what I am trying to say is the fact that all what I have mentioned in Ben Gilani's article are absolutely genuine. I simply felt responsible as an artist to provide a fellow artist with exposure he deserves. I sincerely believe he deserves it as in his country his talent would end up nowhere. I think the only problem with including his article is only the fact that sources I have provided as links are all in Persian language and I honestly do not think I have provided a single false info in his article. I do not ask you to go against your policy off course. But I just want to help him getting enough exposure in his particular industry. I wish you knew him in person. A humble artist, a good one but in a wrong place/country. I would now like to request you to kindly go through this article once more and evaluate it again. All information provided are absolutely accurate and honest. But about the links being in Persian language, I cannot do much. I guess I have done what I could and I've said what I felt responsible to say. Now it's up to you gentlemen to decide to keep or delete this article. Thank you very much for your time and have a great day. Sincerely Martinsherwood (talk) 07:47, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
