[edit] Kaveh Farman-Farmaian

This article reads like a badly translated obituary. The only thing remotely approaching notability asserted is the company he founded. Delete Reyk _YO! 00:31, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy delete per CSD:A7; tagged it as such. -- Captain Disdain 01:42, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
  • ...tagged it again, as the tag was removed by another editor because of the AfD process. Articles get tagged for speedy deletion during AfD all the time, and there's nothing unusual or wrong about that. -- Captain Disdain 20:21, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

• We already have an article about this man at Kaveh Mirza Farman Farmaian. Merge any useful information there, and redirect. - Mike Rosoft 20:29, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
  • ...which doesn't really assert notability, either, as far as I can tell. I don't really see how that changes anything. Sure, his dad was a big name, but unless there's something we don't know, at best, that nets this guy a mention in the article about his father. -- Captain Disdain 01:12, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
    • I would say that the following paragraph:

... he founded Niala Co., which became the representative of Braun AG, Bolex and Hasselblad in Iran. He was the chairman of AEG-Telefunken, Merck Darmstadt AG and Osram Phillips in Iran. He was a founding member of the Irano-German Chamber of Commerce and a founding member of the board of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Bank for Industrial Development.

constitues a claim of notability; perhaps not a sufficient one to warrant an article on Wikipedia, but it is definitely enough to avoid speedy deletion. - Mike Rosoft 06:10, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment- that's why I brought it here rather than speedying it. Reyk _YO! 06:52, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Well, maybe you're right. I don't really see how this makes him very different from any other businessman, but it's also possible that I have an unreasonably high threshold of notability for businessmen. =) I'm certainly willing to change my vote if someone can explain why this is significant. -- Captain Disdain 11:27, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
