• Weak keep. Google scholar finds 88 publications not by Zakeri that mention his generalized fractions. That, to me, seems enough for the "has pioneered or developed a significant new concept" clause of WP:PROF#C1. In addition, the two conferences in his honor show that his contributions have been recognized by his peers. He appears to be a significant figure in Iranian mathematics, but also someone whose contributions have had worldwide impact. The claim of the nominator that he has no publications with even two-digit citations is false: Google scholar lists citation counts of 68 for "Modules of generalized fractions", 42 for "Local cohomology and modules of generalized fractions", 34 for "Co-Cohen-Macaulay modules and modules of generalized fractions", etc. These are still not large numbers but pure mathematics can be a very low-citation field, so I wouldn't infer very much from them. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:52, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you click at the scholar link above, it gives the citations as 15, 7, 6, 5 etc. Somehow I even missed the 15 one. He doesn't have a GS Profile so I don't know how you get hold of the 68, 42, 34 papers. But I can confirm they do show up, when I search for them manually. Can you elaborate how you managed to find the papers? Thanks. Solomon7968 13:20, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Searched Google scholar for author:h-zakeri and then skipped the ones that were obviously not his. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:49, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• keep— He is known university professor in Iran. keeping better than removing--Samək^Talk 14:18, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Appears to have sufficient cumulative impact even if no individual paper was a standout. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 19:54, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
