Bringing this here for discussion as I have some concerns about the quality of references and whether there's enough for ANYBIO. The 2017 "win" (although sourcing says runner up) doesn't appear to be the Arnold, which has a stronger pull for anybio. This is not about the state of the article, which can be cleaned up if he is indeed notable. Star Mississippi 20:18, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – I edited this article for a Guild of Copy Editors. At the time, I looked closely at the sources used. I agree the case for notability seems thin but there truly are adequate sources to document notability. These sources are mostly Iranian publications and were, therefore, printed in Persian. There are several feature articles about him, including his competing and being an international judge. BTW, he did indeed place in two categories in the Arnold 2017: Men’s Physique Class F Over 182 cm (11th place) and 2017 Arnold Classic USA Men’s Model Search (6th place). Not significant wins IMO but it really doesn't matter because there are other sources that are feature articles to prove notability. Rublamb (talk) 21:35, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep examining the sources there appears to be enough for WP:BASIC (excluding interviews etc), but I am not positive as I'm both unfamiliar with the sources and reading through Google translate. I am unsure about ANYBIO re nom. —siro χ o 22:51, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - did a spot check on some of the Iranian references as well, I think probably has enough to indicate notability. - Indefensible (talk) 20:13, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
