CSD declined (and I don't know why). According to WP:NEOLOGISM "articles on neologism should be deleted" and as I know we don't have a guideline in WP:N for neologism, but as the inventor of the concept is a scholar this concept should pass WP:PROF. Beside this, no third party sources can be found. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reza Parchizadeh. Farhikht (talk) 12:18, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Simply redirect to Omar Khayyám, since someone who comes across the booktitle The Myth of Xayyam might use this as a search term. The fact that Parchizadeh chose to transliterate the voiceless velar fricative with the majuscule of its IPA symbol is not of sufficient interest to mention it in the article. Neither is it necessary to add the term Xayyam to the lead as long as the book is not notable and this spelling remains idiosyncratic, since it will already be obvious to the user why they are redirected there. --Lambiam 13:47, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
