Non-notable individual lacking ghits and Gnews of substance. Appears to fail WP:BIO. reddogsix (talk) 04:35, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

:CommentThanks - it was on speedy before - I wanted it off speedy because I have an interest in Persian Art/Antiquities and have a reason to believe the subject may be significant. I am compiling a few new sources I have found. The big thing is the subject area - Persian Carpets is such a niche area and so few people make the carpets/fix them anymore most of the major "carpet fixers" would in fact be notable in their main industry. I am reserving vote at the moment until I fully establish an opinion. 7 days gives me the time to do the background work and make an informed vote.Boatingfaster (talk) 05:17, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Looks like paid-editing spam; no evidence of WP:BIO notability. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:30, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Nothing found to indicate the notability that would make an encyclopedia article appropriate. --Michig (talk) 07:34, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
