Fails WP:GNG, at least per English sources. I am unable to do substantial WP:BEFORE in Farsi, however. The previous discussion reached no consensus because Astaneh was a co-editor on a journal of some importance, according to some previous editors opposed to deletion. The article as it stands is pure puffery and there is zero material in English to create anything beyond a one- or two-sentence stub, so I think this is worth revisiting.WhinyTheYounger (WtY)(talk, contribs) 00:21, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete He is currently located in Canada, so you'd expect some WP:GNG or WP:PROF in the English language, but I find none. Looking at his LinkedIn profile, I see nothing there that would count towards notability. Article states he is at McMaster, but search of Faculty/Staff directory doesn't find him. https://directories.mcmaster.ca/faculty-staff/ — rsjaffe 🗣️ 18:36, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A ton of hits in GScohlar, but the name seems common enough that I'm unsure if they're all about this individual. Oaktree b (talk) 02:29, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
