Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fred Khoshtinat
The Democracy Video Challenge is |notable enough for Wikipedia,http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Democracy+Video+Challenge%22&btnG=Search+Archives&scoring=a and both it and the Fred Khoshtinat|Khoshtinat article seem reasonably sourced... though his is in need of cleanup.  Quite unusual for an Persia|Iranian filmmaker to get coverage in the West, and of course, it is also unusual for a Iranian to win the |notable Democracy Video Challengehttp://www.america.gov/st/democracyhr-english/2010/June/20100618170114ajesrom0.2151758.html... so this unique event seems |worthy enough of note to me... and strangely we do have sources for him in Russian language|Russian,http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Farbod+Khoshtinat%22&btnG=Search+Archives&scoring=a but which will require a Russian language reading Wikipedian to translate
