The subject doesn't appear to pass any criteria listed in  or  (or ). That leaves us with  and the only independent reliable sources are the ones immediately above posted by IP 72.86.39.103 (New Yorker and Examiner mainly). My issue here is this is an academic and an author, yet can't meet those notability guidelines. We are trying to squeak an academic author under the GNG wire with a few sources that in total are not terribly strong. I couldn't even tell you why they are notable other than being from Iran and having a PhD (the book itself doesn't have multiple ''independent'' reviews per ). Others above have said she is notable for her views on the Death Penalty, or her controversial views (unstated what), but none of the provided sources really get into that, so it can't be verified. She seems to be a ''visible'' professional, and may be notable for Wikipedia someday, but doesn't seem to be there today, based on the available sources
