Delete on account of subject failing WP:NACADEMIC and WP:JOURNALIST. -The Gnome (talk) 10:11, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails the GNG. ^Thanks,L3X1 ◊distænt write◊ 13:55, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The one source present is not even indepdent of Astaneh, so we have a total and complete failure of the GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:45, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Clearly does not pass GNG. I don't see how he passes WP:PROF. h-index of 9 per google scholar. Academic position (and journal editor) doesn't seem to qualify.Icewhiz (talk) 14:04, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No pass of WP:Prof or WP:GNG. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:48, 18 July 2018 (UTC).[reply]
Keep. One of the criteria for WP:ACADEMIC is being editor of an important academic journal. Behrooz Astaneh appears to be notable as the editor of Iranian Journal of Medical Sciences. He is also a visiting editor of the British Medical Journal according to https://www.bmj.com/about-bmj/editorial-staff Eastmain (talk • contribs) 07:02, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Eastmain: that's editor-in-chief, not editor. And the Iranian Journal of Medical Sciences seems to be a far cry from a notable journal, it's not even in MEDLINE. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 07:16, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per above Weak keep, per Randykitty. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 07:12, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. The Iranian Journal of Medical Sciences is indeed not a major journal, but I just went through the article and it does meet NJounrals because of its inclusion in Scopus. The latter database also gives a "CiteScore", roughly equivalent fo an impact factor, of almost 1, which is not bad for a general medical journal published in a non-Western country. According to their website, Astaneh is one of 2 chief editors, which would appear to satisfy NACADEMIC#8. I make this a "weak" keep, as there is not much more to be found on this person. --Randykitty (talk) 13:23, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

PS The fact that this journal is not in MEDLINE, noted by Headbomb above, is perhaps related to the US sanctions against Iran, as I remember reading that some Iranian authors could not publish in US-based journals because of them. The journal is in PMC, but may have gotten in there when the sanctions were lifted, as PMC works a bit faster, I think, than MEDLINE. This is just speculations, of course, as I have no sources for this. --Randykitty (talk) 13:26, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This article was bad writing!! please fix it! Emily Khine (talk) 20:51, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:NACADEMIC and WP:JOURNALIST. He is only a Co or Joint editor in chief along with Hamid Reza Pakshir and Iranian Journal of Medical Sciences is not a major, well-established academic journal in their subject and the subject has not been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject and hence does not NACADEMIC#8 .Further could not find anything on the subject to write a separate biographical article and it is already mentioned in the journal page about the subject and most sources are primary.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 07:41, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
