Islamic Revolution, Islamic authorities shut down her office because she had refused the
hijab. She is the sister of Parvin Darabi.
Homa Darabi
immolated herself in Tehran on
21 February1994.[1] Later, Parvin Darabi named the Dr. Homa Darabi Foundation in her remembrance.

It was like a mini-article for a person who already doesn't have much notability. This article is really pushing to make Parvin appear notable, and having a little mini-article for her sister is just off-topic. I suggest using a 'See also' link to
Rage Against the Veil instead, though this may be unnecessary since it is already linked in the article. Perhaps Parvin's page should be merged into
Rage Against the Veil? Tell me what you think.

Ah I see. It sounds like a notable book so maybe not --

The book is somewhat notable, but Parvin doesn't appear to have any notability outside of the authorship of the book. She runs of website of apparently insignificant notability that is mainly POV coverage of Iranian events, self-coverage, or personal reflections, much like any blog or obscure special interest page. It's like faithfreedom.org except much obscurer.
The Behnam 22:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)reply
Behnam, it doesnt matter if according to you, Parvin's site is 10 times worse than FFI's. Notability is all that matters She has been covered in the Media multiple number of times (RJG, Montreal Times, etc). --

Worse? When did I say something about 'worse'? I did judge it as more 'obscure' than FFI, and I don't mind if you contest that, but in any case that was quite awhile ago. She seems more notable now.
