Appears to fail WP:GNG - WP:PROF AND WP:AUTHOR - article appears to be an ongoing uncited attempt to attack him and an attempt to raise the notability of some critic named - Fardin Jahanbin - Youreallycan 05:35, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep- He has a Persian article. He has written more than ten books.Ali Pirhayati (talk) 07:24, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Do you have some of the iso numbers ot investigate the notability of these books - this one, scribd link seems to be an article in a magazine? Paya, Ali. ‘Dialogue’ in a ‘real world’: quixotic pursuit or sine qua non?, International Journal of Applied Philosophy, Vol. 16, No. 2, 2002. - its not the number of publications you have but there notworthyness and publication figugures that matter. Also, having a persian article does not mean you are notable enough for asn english wikipedia article - please provide a link to the Persian article for us to investigate - thanks - Youreallycan 15:09, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Per WP:PROF: this indicates he doesn't hold a high enough position (just assistant/visiting professor); Google Scholar shows minimal cites. I can't read Persian, but the English-language sources are lacking. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:19, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment It may can satisfy WP:PROF, I'm not sure. I mean more specifically this criteria: "The person has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity". He is commonly regarded as being one of the main figures in the field of Futures studies in Iran. As he can be considered a Public intellectual, I can provide sources from mainstream media, like this from Iran newspaper.Farhikht (talk) 16:56, 19 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
