Comment. I don’t think he’s really an academic, he’s a theologian and spiritual leader who taught in a seminary. For me the question is how senior he was. We regard all Christian bishops in major denominations as notable and I think he was equivalent to that, as he was Grand Ayatollah Khamenei’s appointee in Mashhad. I think this makes him approximately like a Catholic Cardinal, but someone better versed in the hierarchy of Shia Islam may say otherwise. Mccapra (talk) 15:32, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Notability not stablished. Sources cant pass WP:RS. Spada II ♪♫ (talk) 06:54, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I beg to differ, a simple Google search shows a good amount of reliable sources. This seems notable. Sourceofgrace (talk) 16:20, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ - clearly fails WP:PROF as an academic. Even if you assume away that he is not an academic, but rather a teacher and cleric, he fails WP:GNG and my own standards. There's no book or news clip that calls him a notable teacher. He's not a mufti, ayatollah, nor mullah; nor did he mentor such a person. There is no evidence he had the equivalent position as a bishop or chief rabbi. If you can find such evidence, put it in the article, and ping me. Bearian (talk) 20:57, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Ok, I admit I am an amateur Wikipedia editor, however, do I have to copy-paste from the references? Because I fail to understand how a senior editor like Bearian can claim Morvarid is not a "teacher", "ayatollah", or "mullah", and ignore the references placed in the article. Please see .
