Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nezameddin Faghih
I would not say that the fact that this is, apparently, an autobiography is sufficient grounds for deletion but it is certainly a reason to look at the article very carefully. In this case, upon closer inspection, many things do not check out. First, a GoogleScholar search for this academic returns almost nothinghttp://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=%22Nezameddin%20Faghih%22&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=ws and there is nothing at all in GoogleBookshttp://books.google.com/books?tab=sp&sa=N&hl=en&q=%22Nezameddin+Faghih%22&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N. That appears to indicate that the work of this scholar is basically complely unknown outside of Iran. I tried to verify some info listed in the article, with no success. For example, he is said to have the rank of "distinguished professor" at Shiraz University. After a bit of searching, I did find a webpage there listing him:http://www.shirazu.ac.ir/en/index.php?page_id=490&search_words=Faghih, with no special ranks attached. Also, he is listed there in the Department of management and accounting in the Faculty of Social Sciences. The article, on the other hand, makes it sound like he is an engineer/applied mathematician. The article says that he is the director of "Center for Development of Professional ethics in Science and Technology" at Shiraz University. A search of the website of the university does not show any such center:http://www.shirazu.ac.ir/en/index.php?cmodule=search&mode=page&q=Center+for+Development+of+Professional+ethics+in+Science+and+Technology&x=14&y=5. He is listed in the article as the Editor-in-Chief of the "Journal of Global Entrepreneurship Research" (supposedly an academic journal in English). A plain GoogleSearch does not return any hits for this journalhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Journal+of+Global+Entrepreneurship+Research%22. Similarly, zero Ghits for the "Journal of Contemporary Farsology"http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Journal+of+Contemporary+Farsology%22 where he is supposed to be the Editor-in-Chief as well. The article lists him as the winner of "Academic Man of the Year Gold Medal Award" (1998, USA). Again a google search for "Academic Man of the Year Gold Medal Award" returns zero hits.http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Academic+Man+of+the+Year+Gold+Medal+Award%22 And so on. With so many things in the article failing , this does not pass either  or  and, especially in view of , should be deleted
