Article that violates WP:BLP and is extremely poorly sourced for five or so years. Couldn't find much on google except for mirror sites; a lot of content was also swiped from the subject's personal webpage and could be copyvio. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 04:04, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep.While information in English is a bit scarce (but here's a biographical sketch), info in French is fairly easy to find (e.g. [1], [2]). In fact, useful info tends to be drowned by casual mentions of his name with relation to his work either artistic (i.e. in expositions, in sales, on book covers...) or in publication (his books are frequently discussed, critiqued, recommended), which to me further confirms notability.

- Keep A French gbook search makes it pretty clear he is notable:"Introduction aux littératures francophones: - Page 206, Christiane Ndiaye - 2004 - 276 pages - Preview, "L'un des principaux artisans de cette vague qui dure depuis de nombreuses années est Hassan Massoudy, originaire d'Irak,...."; Paris le peuple: XVIIIe-XXe siècle - Page 107, Jean-Louis Robert, Danielle Tartakowsky - 1999 - 231 pages - Preview, "En 1978, Hassan Massoudy, le calligraphe persan aujourd'hui de renommée internationale, crée l'affiche pour un cachet de 300 F..."

- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Courcelles 01:13, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]- The above two comments are all well and good, but can we get this BLP sourced before we press the keep button? Courcelles 01:14, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
