I accepted this marginal draft at AfC. The supposed author, {{u|Sahar410}}, has contacted me and requested deletion because their account was taken over by someone...

I just succeeded to return my wiki account to myself recently that he hacked. Additionally, based on Wikipedia rules, this page can not be verified. There are no sources that confirm the testimony and indicate reputation. The links are all Persian He is also not an actress and not a famous singer in Iran. I ask you to delete this page please: Based on Wikipedia : Notability (music) , the notability is not valid , Also based on Wikipedia: Proof, Wikipedia: Referrals : this article not referenced to reliable sources and can not be verified, & also based on Wikipedia: the removal policy, this article is eligible for removal.

I believe starting this deletion discussion on the author's behalf is the most robust way to handle this. ~Kvng (talk) 18:17, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

• Keep. I asked a Persian friend about him. My friend know him and says he is famous in Persian community. Also, he verified some of the sources in Persian. I feel based on this he is notable enough to have a page. First source was in English and I verified and he is also on IMDB. However, a few sources do not load are dead links and need more research to see why. Peter303x (talk) 18:15, 26 March 2019 (UTC) {{timestamp}}

• Delete: He is not notable based on WP:MUSICBIO.Hispring (talk) 12:58, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

• Keep I will admit the article could be more organized and developed but in terms of notability I think that is established through WP:ANYBIO and WP:MUSICBIO but not apparent unless you read the article and citations thoroughly. Kaveh Afagh has won awards but more importantly he was "first rock singer in post-Islamic Revolution Iran to obtain an activity license" this in the context of the kind of nation Iran is I feel is a big deal and along with his awards and his other works makes him notable by both WP:MUSICBIO and WP:ANYBIO.Chaos2order (talk) 07:23, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

• Keep as the nominator was correct in publishing at AFD as the notability is established and the creator account concerned has done almost nothing except create this article so the hacking claims seem suspicious to me Atlantic306 (talk) 21:12, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
