Javad Alizadeh

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Doesn't qualify as A7 because he claims to have won some international awards. I cannot verify that through a number of google searches, except to find that information on his website. There appears to be a lack of substantial third-party coverage, and there are no references on the article. (Qualifies as BLPPROD based on lack of sources.) Article has been speedied before, but I'm not nominating as CSD because of those pesky "awards won." — Timneu22 · talk 17:59, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the sources now in the article. I'm not sure what the nominator's "number of google searches" were, but more than enough coverage in independent reliable sources can be found simply by clicking on the word "news" in the spoon-fed links above.

- I disagree with "more than enough". — Timneu22 · talk 11:58, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Can we compromise on "enough"? Phil Bridger (talk) 18:23, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - No link seems significant to me. Maybe that's just me. — Timneu22 · talk 18:30, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep Google hits in Farsi ( جواد علیزاده ) have good quality like Iran Cartoon, link but I'm not sure if they can pass WP:RS. these ones: from a famous magazine in Iran Golagha and link are better sources. Spada II ♪♫ (talk) 10:58, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Even after post-AfD editing, article is still not notable. Yes there is coverage, but WP:BLP requires importance, and claims in the article are unsourced, except for the Ankara prize. But is it a significant competition, and is the source reliable? I still vote Delete. Lionel (talk) 21:43, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Article blanked for copyvio investigation: The recreated article is based on the last deleted version which was based upon the text of http://www.wittyworld.com/bios/bioalizadeh.html used without evidence of permission. The AfD should run its course to determine if the subject passes our inclusion criteriae, noting that if the AfD concludes in keep or no consensus, a rewrite from scratch will be required (unless OTRS permission can be obtained).
