Khalil Dashtizadeh: Fails WP:GNG .  UtherSRG (talk) 10:38, 10 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note:  This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People , Military ,  and Iran .  UtherSRG (talk) 10:38, 10 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment the two linked sources in the article are passing mentions.  However, it would be reasonably likely to find sigcov in a non-digital Farsi source.  — siro χ o 10:46, 10 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .  We have generally kept articles on flying aces, who are likely to have reasonable coverage in non-digital sources (in Farsi, as Siroxo says).  -- Necrothesp ( talk ) 11:10, 10 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .  I Do added another source (digital english source): source no.2 / articles on flying aces are kept as allways.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patricia Mannerheim ( talk • contribs ) 12:22, 10 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete There is no evidence the gentleman was a flying ace.  Searcing the first ('Razoux 2015' is hardly helpful) and third source for the subject returns no result The second source, a Pakistani blog, gives a passing mention of the subject sourced to the Wikipedia list of Iranian flying aces article which itself is sourced to our friend M. Razoux.  The fourth source is a bunch of old photos of pilots in which the subject is merely named in a group caption.  The fifth, Mehr News Agency, source does not mention the subject.  So in total, we have here a whole bunch of precisely nothing and it needs to go.  Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk ) 13:03, 10 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] see these: Razoux, Pierre (2019), Le siècle des As (1915-1988): Une autre histoire de l'aviation (in French), Place des éditeurs, ISBN 978-2-262-04827-3 .  and Razoux 2015, Table 1.3: Victories by Iranian pilots (3 or more victories), p. 571.  -- Patricia (Talk) 13:13, 10 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete fails WP:GNG . Also there is no policy that aces are automatically notable, rather becoming an ace usually brings significant coverage which then satisfies GNG.

Oaktree b ( talk ) 13:35, 25 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete No inherent notability in being a flying ace. Fails WP:BIO . LibStar ( talk ) 09:41, 25 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Comment . It's interesting that if this ace was British or American (or even German) we'd have a flood of keep votes and it wouldn't have a chance of being deleted. Consensus in the past has clearly been to keep flying aces. -- Necrothesp ( talk ) 15:28, 25 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I reiterate my point above, there is no evidence the gentleman was a flying ace...  Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk ) 15:37, 25 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete The subject lacks inherent notability as a flying ace, and without proper sourcing, it fails to meet the criteria for inclusion under WP:BIO .  Saurabh Saha 12:12, 26 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Necrothesp Agree .  thats the point u mention. -- Patricia (Talk) 14:00, 28 July 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate.
