Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hoseini nasab
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
