[edit] Hamid Yazdani

Unverifiable. Writers.net doesn't list them, yet their site is given as a reference. With the book coming out bit it sounds a lot like advertising for a non-notable writer. - User:MacGyverMagic 13:23, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I couldn't find any "literary circles" that had ever heard of him. In his own mind maybe, or at his weekly Book Club meeting. --Dogbreathcanada 07:24, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - has published books. Google reveals numerous hits. Announcement of recent book on news site here [1] --OscarTheCat^talk 07:53, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Despite what's said above, this author is listed at writers.net [2] with significant publishing credits, in several languages. He's no Kadee Strickland, but that's not a criterion for deletion. (However, the announcement linked above refers to a book by his father, which doesn't directly show notability for the son, but supports the basic verifiability of the article.)
