I came across this article which is about canadian-iranian film maker and screenwriter, I did some research and from what I saw, the claims in this articles are not true, sources are poor or unrelated, I tried speedy deletion but it seems we have to discuss about it, subject of the article doesn't pass GNG and I think it should be deleted Mardetanha (talk) 21:32, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Many references from reliable sources, including this one from The New York Times. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 21:49, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is about the movie Corona (film) which already has a WP article not the director himself, just a very brief mention of the director itself, I am fine with redirecting this article to the movie but director is yet far from GNG Mardetanha (talk) 09:35, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I think there's enough coverage to meet WP:GNG.

• TheGuardian - Coronavirus: the movie is somehow already here – but are we ready for it?
• BBC - It's thought to be the first film about the disease. Its Canadian director, Mostafa Keshvari, talked to the BBC's Tom Brook.
• The Jakarta Post - A first film on the coronavirus epidemic has been shot
• The Hollywood Reporter - Canadian Thriller ‘Corona’ Touted as First COVID-19 Movie
• etc...

Note that these sources are not about the subject, but instead their products, while the product might be notable (it is totally unrelated issue) the producer, owner are not notable Mardetanha (talk) 11:34, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep So many easily found sources, to establish GNG. This is a WP:BEFORE failure, and if there's issues in the article, it should be fixed, not deleted. Nfitz (talk) 19:19, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Keep Alongside with other sources, I found following source ([1]) which is an interview with the subject in Persian language; An interview with Mostafa Keshvari; a Vancouver-based filmmaker. Subject clearly meets notability guideline as a filmmaker.Mahdiar86 (talk) 21:29, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
