[edit] Homa Darabi

Homa Darabi was a pediatrician licensed to practice medicine in New Jersey, New York, and California. She returned to Iran in 1976 and after the Islamic Revolution, Islamic authorities shut down her office because she had refused the hijab. She is the sister of Parvin Darabi.

Homa Darabi immolated herself in Tehran on 21 February 1994.[1] Later, Parvin Darabi named the Dr. Homa Darabi Foundation in her remembrance.

- This was removed but it sounds like the info can be used in a relevant manner perhaps, --Rayis 20:12, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

It was like a mini-article for a person who already doesn't have much notability. This article is really pushing to make Parvin appear notable, and having a little mini-article for her sister is just off-topic. I suggest using a 'See also' link to Rage Against the Veil instead, though this may be unnecessary since it is already linked in the article. Perhaps Parvin's page should be merged into Rage Against the Veil? Tell me what you think. The Behnam 21:11, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Ah I see. It sounds like a notable book so maybe not --Rayis 21:48, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
The book is somewhat notable, but Parvin doesn't appear to have any notability outside of the authorship of the book. She runs of website of apparently insignificant notability that is mainly POV coverage of Iranian events, self-coverage, or personal reflections, much like any blog or obscure special interest page. It's like faithfreedom.org except much obscurer. The Behnam 22:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Behnam, it doesnt matter if according to you, Parvin's site is 10 times worse than FFI's. Notability is all that matters She has been covered in the Media multiple number of times (RJG, Montreal Times, etc). --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 17:37, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Worse? When did I say something about 'worse'? I did judge it as more 'obscure' than FFI, and I don't mind if you contest that, but in any case that was quite awhile ago. She seems more notable now. The Behnam 05:37, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Good I'm glad you realized. --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 11:34, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
