Deletion of George Malek-Yonan

Comment: My comment was a reply to Nipsonanomhmata who is advocating keep without stating what sources lead him to believe that it should be kept.  As for the articles that I've started that need completion, |hey aren't germane to this discussion.  This is a collaborative effort that everybody shares in article development, however if you care to point out any deficiencies in sourcing, I'll look into improving them

Comment: The problem is that the assertions of notability are vague.  As a lawyer, he worked at the US embassy during the hostage crisis.  That's not a strong claim of notability, and it doesn't appear that that is why the article was created.  The claim for politician is more strongly asserted as securing a seat for Assyrians but is unclear what that means.  In any case, I can find no English language sources explaining George Malek-Yonan's involvement.  The claim for athlete is also strongly asserted with 47 medals.  But there is no indication what exactly those medals are for, and what competitions he participated in.  For me, this fails |verifiability.  If there are Farsi/Persian language sources, they should be brought forward. I can't read them, but I'm sure we can find an editor who could review them

Comment: This need not be a race against the clock.  You may want to |userfy the article so that the work isn't lost while you research sources
