Pejman Akbarzadeh and Pejman Akbarzadeh/Temp

This page appears to have been written by Pejman himself (see edit history) who has an account (User:Pejman) but also edits under different various IPs. Anyways, Pejman Akbarzadeh appears to not be notable enough, as he only gets 296 Google hits. Delete? --Hottentot

I was probably going to vote keep, but I think it's a copyvio. I will tag as such. CanadianCaesar 04:42, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete -- Seems to be vanity & nn. Large number of red links for "prominent musicians," "greatest Persian cultural figures," and "reputable Persian publications" is a strong indicator. A Google search for one of the publications cited, Bukhara bi-monthly returns only one hit: Pejman's bio. Several other references yielded similar, circular results. However, I do have some reservations about this VfD, since I am not even remotely familiar with the Tehran musical or cultural scene, or the volume of net-based data related to it. -Awyllie 04:47, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is a published author who has produced two volumes of an ongoing work on Iranian music which has been well received within his community. He's been interviewed by the weekly literary magazine Ketab-e Hafte, the Iranian.com (which featured him in 2002 as their Iranian of the day) describes him as "the keeper of all things Persian". He is listed by persiangulfonline.com as one of two "Research and Publication Members". If I were Iranian (I'm not, as it happens) I'd want to know a bit about this fellow. I'm not Iranian (as I said) and I want to know about this fellow. This is why we have encyclopedias. This is why I write for this encyclopedia. We can put stuff into his article and other people can read it. All those who think this is a good idea say "Aye". --Tony Sidaway ^Talk 01:16, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. He's not the first Persian musician to write an article about himself at Wikipedia (see Peyman Nasehpour). No biggie, we can rework it so it's not a copy-vio or excessively hagiographical.--Jpbrenna 03:32, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks to that extra information, I can now happily vote Delete as not notable. - brenneman ^(t)^(c) 09:15, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Rewritten version. CanadianCaesar 22:42, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I've added the rewrite to the vote. It's just a stub at the moment but there's quite a lot of other verifiable stuff that can be added. --Tony Sidaway ^Talk 01:02, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
