Comment I think it is possible that this person's name has been spelt incorrectly. His CV here [2] has his name as Kamran Talattof whereas here is Kamran Talatoff. He also seems well published. (Msrasnw (talk) 22:52, 2 January 2011 (UTC))[reply]
Keep. I am not an expert in Persian literature/Iranian Studies but via the CV and then googling for the first of his books I came accross 7 full reviews in academic journals of his (2000) The Politics of Writing in Iran (Syracuse University Press) book. I have added the refs of these to the article. I have not looked for his other books or the new one ((2011) Modernity, sexuality, and ideology in iran : the life and legacy of popular iranian female artists) These reviews, together with his other work and full professorship at Univ of Arizona would seem indicative of sufficient notability. I have also added a note of his contribution to the the Encyclopædia Iranica (but I could not find the biography of Susan (Golandam Taherkhani), the Popular Singer (1940–2004)). Best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 15:36, 3 January 2011 (UTC))[reply]
