The result was keep. The issue of sourcing appears to be adequate adressed by the Phil Bridger and T L Miles. The only opinion supporting the nomination relies on Google hit counting to determine notability, which is a poor measure for non-English subjects. Since the "keep"s are both in a majority, and have more persuasive arguments regarding sourcing, I'm closing this a a keep. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:25, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Non-notable chairman of a sports club (not a league, but a team in a league), was chair for one year, no sources on him the individual, notability not by association. MBisanz talk 22:14, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: There are now two reliable references for this stub. The fact, perhaps unknown to others here, that Persopolis is the biggest club in a huge, obseesively football mad nation, makes the likelyhood that the chairman has recieved extensive press coverage %100. Even if you can't read farsi -- and assuming the references we do have establish he was chair of this club -- he's notable. It's like saying, because you can't read English, that a recent chair of Man U can't be proven to you to be notable. Perhaps it is outside the US experience, but these people are in the press every day, to a MUCH greater extent than a US sports franchise owner is, even more than someone like Stienbrenner is here in New York.
