Deletion of Hoseini nasab

Comment: and '''|salt''' — I would not accept this |spam (blatant advertising) without any |salt (creation protection) on it!! In fact, I would argue on deletion of the article on a user who is basically banned from editing due to the community's numerous blocks on said creator

Comment: A quick look at that ref and our articles reinforced my impression that projecting it on to the western system, Ayatollah is something more than a Ph.D. and closer to our  criteria.  It is a higher rank than Hojatoleslam and involves having followers already.  Grand Ayatollah seems very definitely notable, too high a bar, as there are only 20 or so of them for up to 170 million (using wiki's numbers and statements - overwhelming majority of 85% of 200 million) Usuli Twelver Shia Islam|Shi'ites

Comment: I wonder if reaching the rank of Ayatollah does not qualify him as notable under something like  criterion 5 (I think few would question that those criteria are somewhat ethnocentric). There are indeed http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Ayatollah+Nassab&btnG=Search several references to him as having reached that rank. Perhaps an expert could help us here

Comment: I did a bit more research on this; see http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-an-ayatollah.htm here, for example. It seems that attaining the rank of Ayatollah is somewhat equivalent to getting a Ph.D. in theology, which would not necessarily ensure notability under . The rank of Grand Ayatollah appears to be significantly more difficult to reach, and implies that he is “accepted as a reference for religious issues and has written one or more highly-referenced books about Islam”, which is more in line with what one needs to have to pass . It does not seem that Nassab reached the rank of Grand Ayatollah yet. Again, an expert opinion would be useful

Comment: and use lots of |salt. None of the numerous incarnations of this article come close to meeting .  I'm also thinking about requesting a Checkuser so a sweep can be done on the IP, given the level of disruption

Comment: but not speedily. No sign of passing  or . I looked at this last night while on speedy deletion patrol; along with Hoseini nasab, we have previously deleted articles Ayatollah Hoseini-Nasab, Seyed Reza Hosseini Nassab (created twice), Sayed Reza Hoseini Nasab, Hosseini Nassab, Ayatollah Hosseini Nasab, and Seyed Reza Hoseini Nasab. All have been speedily deleted, some under G4, but I couldn't find a past deletion discussion to use as the basis for a G4 deletion. A7 is a possibility, but I think we would be best off holding a full discussion rather than just deleting speedily again and continuing the cycle. I'm not convinced salting would be effective, though, given so many variations in spelling already

Comment: Non-notable religious leader.  Certainly doesn't pass :  it appears that most of the 40 books he has written are self-published, and many are really just long pamphlets.  No real assertion of notability, let alone any evidence to support it.  A brief Google Search turned up nothing about him, strange for a supposedly notable person living in Canada.  '''Salt''' this article and the other nine versions that have been deleted, but not any as-yet untried variations:  too many potentially legitimate article names would have to be protected to do so

Comment: It does not seem to even get close to to passing . One of the key claims of the article is that the author wrote many books, including books in English. A WorldCat book search returned 2 hits, apparently for the same book – Menschwerdung (a German translation of a book written in Persian) – which is held by only 1 library worldwide
