Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi
per the lack of substantial coverage in |reliable sources. The article contains http://nrd.nationalreview.com/article/?q=YWJkNjY0MzhjZDQ4OWFiMDU2M2M0NGVjODc1NGJiMjk= one reference which provides trivial coverage about the subject. It mentions her twice: "Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi, a native of Iran who writes frequently about events in that country, estimates that ..." and "Zand-Bonazzi calls Bush’s rhetoric “excellent” and says that “as an individual, he’s gotten it.” This is unacceptable sourcing for a |biography of a living person in that it verifies nothing in the Wikipedia article, save for the fact that Zand-Bonazzi was quoted in ''National Review''. A http://news.google.com/archivesearch?&as_src=-newswire+-wire+-presswire+-PR+-press+-release+-wikipedia&q=%22Banafsheh+Zand-Bonazzi%22&num=50 Google News Archive search returns either passing mentions or articles that Zand-Bonazzi herself has written. There is virtually no ''significant'' coverage about her.{{user|John}} asserts that notability is established but does not explain why.{{user|Hullaballoo Wolfowitz}} asserts that there are sources that establish notability but has not provided any.{{user|Erxnmedia}}'s argument is not based on the notability guidelines and ignores the policy Wikipedia:Verifiability.{{user|Spada2}}'s argument violates  in that s/he has not pointed to specific sources that establish notability.{{user|SilentBobxy2}} asserts that the subject is notable but then says that someone "needs to provide sources on the page". I have not been able to find sources, so I find this argument to be unpersuasive.{{user|Chromancer}} writes that "sources are necessary if we're going to be making all these assertions in a BLP", but s/he has not provided any to justify supporting retention.{{user|KianTC}} writes that the article "needs more info", and I do not see how that is a policy-based reason for keeping the article.Because the subject of this article has not received the necessary coverage in reliable sources to pass Wikipedia:Verifiability or Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, and because no sources have been provided to demonstrate that the subject passes Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Notability (people), this article should be deleted
