My knowledge of the Arabic language begins and ends with Google translate, so I haven't been able to examine the video sources provided. The written sources provided do nothing to determine notability. He fails WP:NBOX; no evidence of competing in any international amateur tournaments and has achieved nothing in his short professional career. This article has been here before, in 2016, and was subsequently deleted. ².O.^Boxing 21:45, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

'Delete' not notable.--HuntGroup (talk) 10:23, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: would benefit from some more discussion of why he isn't notable, also 'per nom' votes indicate that nobody has analyzed the video sources and likely nobody has searched for Arabic sources.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 23:08, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I’ve looked at this a few times and considered whether to nominate it for AfD myself. The sources in the article are in Farsi, not Arabic, which Google translate deals with perfectly well. My assumption is that this article is essentially promotional and that therefore any possible claim of notability is already in there. This isn’t a stub where we have to go off and hunt down further info. We already know, from the article, that the subject was invited to the Rio Olympics but did not compete there; did not compete in London 2012 either, that he emigrated to Azerbaijan out of love for the country, and is a great favourite of the Azerbaijani President. None of this supports notability but it is seemingly the best we have on the subject. My only reason for not nominating the article is that in the last para there is a list of fights he won. I don’t know enough about boxing to know if these could be notable enough on their own to support a bio (I’d guess not) but apart from that there’s very little substance to this and I’d be inclined to delete.

Delete I asked a Persian friend to watch the video. It is self generated and about him, so therefore not acceptable as a 3rd party source. The remaining sources do not show significant coverage. Expertwikiguy (talk) 07:42, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
