Redirect to Iran at the 1948 Summer Olympics#Boxing – As per WP:ATD. Please ping me when references containing significant coverage are found. Fade258 (talk) 14:07, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – Old Iranian media can be hard to find, especially for those such as myself who cannot read any Persian, and do not live remotely near Iran. That being said, he seems to have received coverage from July 12, 1950 in Ettela'at Haftegy. I am working on attempting to obtain a copy, but I do not know if I will be successful, or how long it will take. If anyone has any tips, I would welcome them. – Ike Lek (talk) 22:27, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Issue number appears to be 467 and in-depth coverage looks promising if he is indeed the man in the picture on the cover. Ike Lek (talk) 03:37, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Iran at the 1948 Summer Olympics#Boxing -seems sensible as an ATD meantime while Ike Lek is sourcing a possible lead source.Lorraine Crane (talk) 23:15, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – While I am still working to verify if this information is correct, I have found a source that seems to be claiming that he was Iran's first national champion in his weight-class, and thought it was worth mentioning. [1] – Ike Lek (talk) 01:37, 30 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Iran at the 1948 Summer Olympics#Boxing per WP:ATD. Zach^H007
Redirect to Iran at the 1948 Summer Olympics#Boxing as I am always happy if an acceptable redirect is found to go with that as a better WP:ATD than just totally deleting with no redirect or merge. Iljhgtn (talk) 16:34, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
