[edit] Emad Khorasani
My prod was contested since googling the poet gave the contester reason to believe the poet is notable. I disagree with that as a reason. One shouldn't have to google someone to figure out if they are notable or not. One should be able to read the article on the person at hand and see from that info that they are notable. This article has been around for a while and no one, not even the original author, has done anything to let us know that this guy is notable. They simply state he existed which IMHO is not wiki worthy. Unless the article is improved significantly before the time is up on this AFD, I say strong delete as unnotable with no sources.

- Delete - likewise unless expanded right away. There's a minimal bio here. Googling his name in Persian finds this BBC Persian article, an obituary I think. But unless anyone bilingual is prepared to translate something pronto, there's not enough to justify keeping the article. I've posted a request for help to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Iran.

- Delete Two years without the slightest improvement to the article's content is long enough for me to think that nobody's ever going to bother, and the article doesn't meet WP standards as-is. Propaniac 18:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
