Delete Could not find any reliable sources and it fails WP:GNG and should be deleted Untamed1910 (talk) 20:51, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete: The creator and the only contributor has been CU-blocked. The page should have been protected from IPs removing the speedy deletion tag until it would be reviewed. I'm not sure if this was recreated here and merits salt, but in the Simple English Wikipedia, it was deleted for 4 times and salted twice: [1] Aintabli (talk) 10:37, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Aintabli: You may be right, but Ponyo, the CU who made the blocks, did not say what other accounts, if any, had been used, so it's impossible for mere mortals such as you and me to know whether a block was being evaded at the time when the article was created.

That's correct. I did not think of that when voting although I should have. Aintabli (talk) 12:04, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, really can't find any reliable and independent sources about him to count towards wikinotability. Aintabli (talk) 12:07, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. (1) I checked the cited sources, with the aid of Google translate, as I can't read Persian. At least one of them is on a site selling Rakan Daqar's work, and at least one of them is on a site which describes itself as a "public relations" site. None of them gives substantially more information about Rakan Daqar than the fact that his books have been published. (2) In case there are good sources out there which haven't been cited in the article, I searched for information on Google, using the Persian form of Rakan Daqar's name. I found more of the same kind of thing, plus the Wikipedia article, Facebook, a blog, etc. In short, I was unable to find any substantial coverage of him anywhere, in any kind of source, reliable or otherwise.
