Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Khashayar Farzam
WP:NATHLETE lists ''no'' criteria that would confer an automatic presumption of notability for weightlifters at all — which means a weightlifter's notability is entirely dependent on passing  on the ''depth'' and ''quality'' of ''media'' coverage that can be shown. But the writing tone here is noticeably |advertorial rather than encyclopedic, and the referencing is almost entirely to |primary sources — the only |reliable source coverage about him in ''media'' being shown here at all is entirely to weekly ''community'' newspapers (two Oshawa and one GTA-ethnic). Those would be acceptable for some supplementary sourcing of stray facts ''if'' the rest of the referencing around them were ''better'' than this, but they are ''not'' widely distributed enough to carry a GNG claim all by themselves if they're the ''only'' media sources you can show. All of which means that  (a/k/a "blow it up and start over") applies here&nbsp;— even if he ''can'' actually be shown to clear a notability standard, ''this'' is not the article or the sourcing that gets him there. And no, this is not a "disregard" for Persian language sourcing either — of the 13 sources used here, only one of them ''is'' in Persian, so language is simply not the issue
