Notability?

[edit]

Did this guy do anything other than make the inflammatory (and stupid) comment about immodesty causing earthquakes? Yeah, it caused a brief stir but that can't be the basis for an article. Otherwise, we'd be including all sorts of people who make one-off stupid comments before slipping again into obscurity. Besides, he can't be the *only* one to make such a comment. -RomeW (talk) 04:58, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pat Robertson had said similar things. Viriditas (talk) 00:45, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Pat Robertson has said a million things over a larger length of time. Sedighi made one speech. They're not comparable. -RomeW (talk) 03:59, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
His religion has nothing to do with my comments. I'd say the same thing about a Christian, Hindu or Jewish religious figure if all we can come up with is four lines. If he's noteworthy, we can certainly find a way to write a full biography.-RomeW (talk) 03:59, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Our List of current Iranian Friday prayers imams says that Friday Prayer Leaders are often more powerful than governors or mayors. I think anyone with that much influence deserves an article. However, there don't seem to be enough sources to write a bio about him. If we can only find enough sources to write four sentences (most of which merely discuss a few comments he has made) about the man, then perhaps he's not really very notable after all.

^ That's my point all along. If he's notable, we can write a biography about him. -RomeW (talk) 03:59, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
