Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reza Parchizadeh
Wikipedia first and foremost is meant to be a forum of democracy, and a conveyor of the vox populi." No, it isn't. It's an encyclopaedia. It happens to be edited by 'the people', but it is not a forum of democracy, or of anything else either. It is a collection of information, and that information must be referenced to reliable sources - see . '''To those who are new users''': Arguments made with reference to Wikipedia's policies and procedures will be taken into account by the admin who closes this discussion. It is not a head count, and standards of notability outside Wikipedia's definitions are irrelevant. If many new accounts appear, a sockpuppet investigation may result, and those found to be using multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. Personally, I think there may be notability in this subject - but the rules for referencing must be followed - especially in the case of a controversial living person
