Mr.
A loose necktie (
talk) Umid Najjari is a young poet. He has a special place in Azerbaijani poetry. Mr. Najari writes poems in the style of surrealism. Periodically, his writings are published in Azerbaijani and world literary almanacs. His books were published in Azerbaijan, Iran, Albania, Montenegro, Serbia, and Uzbekistan. He participates in almost all poetry festivals of young poets in Europe. In addition, his poems have been published in prestigious poetic publications in many countries. I can post their link here if you want. I should also note that Mr. Umid is actively engaged in translation. He translated and published the works of
Mahmoud Darwish,
Sadegh Hedayat and
Federico García Lorca into Azerbaijani. As for references, I can post links to his creations if needed. Please Mr.

Please understand that Wikipedia does not decide to retain or delete articles based on the number of successful publications of an author, nor on how much translation he/ she may have done, and we do not need to see links to the subject's creations. What we need to see is evidence that the subject HIMSELF (not his poetry, not his translations) has been the subject of in-depth discussion by multiple independent verifiable reliable published sources. Participation in poetry festivals doesn't count towards this, and the fact that he is young or that his poems are surrealistic have no bearing. If the subject some day does receive that kind of coverage, you may always attempt to recreate this page.

my dear friend. I read Wikipedia every day. And I also see very weak profiles. In my opinion, deleting this page is biased and unfair

I am not sure you are hearing me. I have used Google Translate to read these articles-- some of the links you provided are only links to his poems; others are links to discussion of these poems. In order for us to host an article on this person, we need references that discuss him, ones that tell us where he grew up, where he studied, who has influenced him, etc., not analysis of his works (though these are helpful). I understand you feel very strongly about his poetry, and firmly believe he is notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia article. But we can't create the substance of an article about him by reading critiques of his poems. Even the article that describes his being given an award at a university is all about the awards ceremony and recounts who was there and did what-- it doesn't tell us anything about him other than that he got an award (or at least, I didn't see anything-- correct me if you feel I am wrong). The article that mentions an international award he had won, and which states that he himself notified them that he got the award, is a perfect example of the kind of coverage that does NOT augment a notability argument because it lacks
WP:INDEPENDENCE.

Hello Mr.
A loose necktie (
talk) I understand your position very well. Yes, you are right that I have great love for human creativity. The arguments you mentioned are not unreasonable, but they are not a reason to delete a person's page. In the links here, the person's creativity has been evaluated. If he was an insignificant poet, he would not have been invited to international poetry festivals. I am familiar with the
WP:INDEPENDENCE. And I know the requirements for individuals there. There it is written that in addition to the degree of importance of the person, the work done by him is also important. In the links above, Umid Najjari's work is widely described.I will put the important parts mentioned in
WP:INDEPENDENCE here.--
