• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 12:58, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

• Uncertain, leaning towards keep. It's a bit tough to determine where to draw the line for an Iranian stage/film actress. However, according to the IMDB, Leila, one of her movies, was distributed internationally and apparently got a certain amount of critical attention, including a New York Times review. However, she's the 7th cast member listed, so it's hard to say how big the part was. The IMDB cast list doesn't even give a name to her character ("second wife"), but on the other hand it doesn't give a name to any of the characters except the two main protagonists. This one is too close to call, so no vote from me, but it definitely isn't a clear-cut case for deletion. Nominator's accusation of vanity is almost certainly untrue: article creator has been around since 2005 and has many other contributions. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:03, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep -- I had typed in "delete" after looking at IMDB, but then did a Google search. She seems to be famous among Iranians, although nearly all the Web sites seem to be in Persian. She starred in "Butterfly in the Wind" and won the "Best Actress" award for that role at the 2004 Amiens International Film Festival[1], and she was interviewed by the Iranian Times Web site (in Persian and in a PDF file which I can't figure out how to translate). There are 129 or so English Google hits and about 3,500 in total. You could certainly make the case that she's only worth an article in a Farsi Wikipedia and not in English I suppose, but apparently those three movies on IMDB have been translated into English, so some people might be interested in her. There are lots of Iranian immigrants in the U.S.Noroton 19:23, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep just poking around google I was able to find quite a few sites in Arabic with this person's name. I am not going to pretend that I can read Arabic and google was pretty much unable to translate the sites for me. Despite these problems, the number of name matches alone leads me to believe that she is probably notable enough to be worthy of inclusion. --Maelnuneb (Talk) 20:32, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Noroton said that language was Persian not Arabic. Either way, same problem applied, I just wanted to make sure my mistake was noted. --Maelnuneb (Talk) 20:34, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
