Deletion of Mohammad mehdi jafari

Comment: I would assume that if we were a parliamentarian as claimed, there would be at least ''something'' in English to verify that, but I've come up with a blank.  That said, the transliteration of his name might be an issue and I have no skill whatsoever with the Persian language.  I'm assuming good faith for the time being that the sources say what the article says they say, until evidence is produced to the contrary.  Note that per , sources in languages other than English are explicitly permitted to be used here

Comment: His Persian article is sourced and he is perfectly notable. He served in the Iranian parliament and government and has won various honors. In particular his book was a winner in Iran's "Book of the Year" awards.https://web.archive.org/web/20090309232933/http://www.shirazu.ac.ir/index.php?cmodule=news&mode=view&news_id=276, http://www.ensani.ir/fa/content/53050/default.aspx.

Comment: the sources in the Persian WP are probably enough. There is absolutely no requirement for a source in English, or in a roman alphabet The ''articles'' are written in English. The sources  are outside the article--we are just referring to them. We have probably a few hundred thousand articles on people and places with only non-English sources. The alphabet problem is real--but we probably have about 50,000 articles with only non-Roman references, which include the geographical articles for at least half of the world. Persian, btw, is not a dead language--seeersian -- Iran uses Persian as its only  official language, not Arabic--the main use of Arabic in Iran  in religious contexts  U|PsychoticSpartan123,, before you comment on an article on a national topic, you should find out the basics about the nation. Before you say a language is dead, you should look it up. DGG (at NYPL) -- reply
