No reliable sources to support claims, the only one I found seemed to be for a different person(?) Creating the work listing in filmography does not make it notable. I would love to see more references and the article improved. heather walls (talk) 01:01, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

  • Weak keep - I searched about him via Google, there are some independent Persian sources. Regarding his national (and not international) activity, we can't find any English sources about him and the most are in native language. [http://www.isfpc.com/اخبار/50-اخبار-کانون/92-نشست-تخصصی-با-دکتر-اکبر-عالمی.html This] is one of the Persian reliable sources. ●Mehran Debate● 08:11, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep - I've added a reference and I'm going to add some reliable info in coming days so plz don't delete the article.Soroush90gh (talk) 14:15, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

:*The reference you added is not a reliable secondary source, and that's what we are looking for. Please see this note on good references. Someone who can read the Persian sources should add them (I cannot). heather walls (talk) 16:50, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

  • Delete - yes, some sources have been added but the fact remains that many of them are primary sources (written by the subject) and others simply do not provide "significant coverage" of the subject. Being a guest judge at a film festival is not in and of itself notable. I just can't see how the subject meets WP:GNG or any of the profession-specific criteria, but I'm more than happy to discuss it if others believe otherwise. Stalwart111 05:04, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep He is notable in Iran. There is no prohibition In Wikipedia guidelines in providing non-English sources. We should add more sources to this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by US Academia (talk • contribs) 20:58, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

::There is no objection to using non-English sources, but if you want them to be accepted by English-speaking editors on the English Wikipedia you may need to provide translations of them. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:45, 9 December 2012 (UTC).

  • Delete no evidence of meeting WP:PROF. if he is notable in Iran I'd like to see some sources, does not have to be in English. LibStar (talk) 00:38, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
