The page you wrote on Noreen Motamedd has been proposed for deletion, though not by me; what is necessary is 3rd party sources, such as published reviews.DGG 15:19, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fereydoun

  • The page you have edited on 'him will probably be proposed or deletion sooner or later, though not be me, because it does not look like a WP article. He seems a worthy subject for an article, but if you would like the article to remain you must write it in the WP style, which includes: *saying in the first sentence something to demonstrate notability, like "A.b. is an internationally-known professor of X at, winner of the XYZ prize and 10 honorary doctorates" , or A.B. is a notable authority on Whatever. She is ... (etc) (whatever applies best). Use the exact wording I recommend, including either the word "notable" or "internationally-known" or "nationally-known"; do not use "famous" -- May sound silly, but that is what many people look for here.
  • not going into disproportionate personal details
  • listing college degrees with university and year -- and putting the university names in double brackets
  • listing important awards Put them in a list using * before each one , not in paragraphs.
  • listing important memberships and offices held
  • listing books published as formal references style: Author, title, Publisher, year ISBN if possible. -- in a list
Do NOT include which  libraries have them.

and, most important, giving some 3rd party sources. They should be in English if possible but they do not have to be.

These is, very unfortunately, some prejudice against people from the academic world. There is also understandable feeling here against articles written by the subject or a member of his family, so it has to be a really solid article. See WP:AUTO and WP:COI

If you do not do this right away, the article will probably be deleted in a week or two--though not by me.

If you need assistance in finding book reviews etc., try any good library and ask--saying why you want them. I apologize for not having the time to help personally. -- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DGG (talk • contribs) 15:28, 10 March 2007 (UTC).
