Article had been BLPPRODed, but Jowkar supposedly died in 1984. Searching for sources I find literally not 1 single mention. Very well, he died age 38 in 1984, could there be any online sources in Farsi? But as it stands now, I'm not even able to verify the man existed. Delete.

Delete No evidence he existed or more importantly competed at the highest levels. Does not meet any notability criteria.Peter Rehse (talk) 18:49, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as there's still nothing convincing and with amount of questionability, I would've simply PRODed instead. SwisterTwister talk 23:08, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @SwisterTwister: I suppose you actually "would've simply PRODed instead", but unless you recently took a crash course in Farsi and searched for sources per WP:BEFORE, such haphazardly drive-by tagging would exclude the possibility of qualified community input.

Delete Unsourced article with no indication of notability. My google search and searching the UWW database did not turn up anything. I could find no evidence he ever competed at a major wrestling event. Papaursa (talk) 23:11, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
