Revision as of 06:20, 25 August 2005
Kourosh Ziabari
This article, it seems, was written by Kourosh. There are a few hundred instances of him on the net; the 6 pages of his from the UK are basically him writing on blogs, though, and they don't particularly make sense. I skimmed over some of the Farsi links too, (although my grip on that language is not strong, to put it lightly,) and it seems that, on most of them, he is just bigging himself up. I highlight this for a votes for deletion because I am not sure whether his age and his 'acceptance' classified him as notable. If so, this article needs some deal of rewriting. If not, like I expect, then so be it. IINAG 23:43, 24th August 2005 (UTC)
- I was just mulling over the page wondering what to do with it, and when I decided to add the VfD header it was already there. Good call. Delete unless sourced. --fvw* 23:54, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Seems to be just a blogger... I say delete for now. Andre (talk) 00:15, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
- I agree with you too. In fact, with all the links to him that I have read, he talks about being a journalist, but there are no examples of journalism! I fear that this may be a case of Walter Mitty, but perhaps it is just childish imagination. He also claimed that he wrote for the Washington Post and the New York Times, but there are no links to his 'articles' for them at all IINAG 00:26, 25th August 2005 (UTC).
- Delete unless proof of notability is provided. This is why we have WP:AUTO. ~~ N (t/c) 01:45, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
- Delete nn autobio at this point. --Etacar11 03:35, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
Delete- "World's youngest journalist" gets no relevant Google hits. As for the list of awards... I've won somewhere upwards of 25 regional, state and national honors for excellence in journalism, including five National Newspaper Pacemaker Awards - but that doesn't make me Misplaced Pages-worthy. From one journalist to another, best of luck in the future... but plumping yourself on Misplaced Pages isn't going to further your career. Best to get back to writing. Userfy per Alphax.

- Userfy. All the Google hits to "Kourosh Ziabari" point to his own blogs. He doesn't seem notable enough to merit an article. However, it will make a nice user page. — JIP | Talk 04:30, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
A question
How can I prove that I am the world youngest journalist? Have I the ability or the permission to link all my 1000 articles?
- Sure. ~~ N (t/c) 01:45, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
- WHAT?! 'NO! Zoe 06:20, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
