[edit] Kamyar Cyrus Habib

• Delete: Non-notable bio. Only possible notability is being a Rhodes Scholar and apparently being blind. Few hits on Google. Seems like he's just the most popular kid on campus. —Wknight94 (talk) 04:05, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

• Obvious keep. Being a Rhodes Scholar is in and of itself notable. Being a blind Rhodes Scholar from Iran, written up in the New York Times as an example of the sort of recipient who contradicts Rhodes' goal of recognizing a new white/Anglo aristocracy, and whose work as a disability rights activist has been recognized, is certainly notable. [1] It's worth noting that Playboy Playmates are generally regarded as notable, even though their principal social role is to serve as masturbatory objects for adolescents and sexually frustrated males, and their career paths typically involve, at peak, promotional appearances at auto and boat shows, as well as appearances in exploitation films and softcore and occasionally hardcore pornographic projects, as well as work for more expensive "escort services" and "gentleman's clubs." While this almost unblemished record of achievements apparently towers over the records of achievements by Rhodes Scholars, as shown here, [2] , the notability of Rhodes scholars should not be so casually dismissed as the editors here do.

  • Comment: This is a notability discussion, not a morality discussion. And, for the record, your "...written up in the New York Times..." is actually the following sentence fragment in a 2002 article about a different handicapped Rhodes Scholar: Among the other winners announced today are Kamyar Cyrus Habib, a Columbia University student from Kirkland, Wash., who is a black belt in karate, a downhill skier and a published photographer — as well as blind;... [3]. The other things you mentioned were not in the NY Times. —Wknight94 (talk) 18:49, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
