• Comment - Reza Amper a couple of points. The deletion of an article on another language Wikipedia means nothing here. Each Wikipedia language is independent and have their one rules. Next the part you quote above is from the English Wikipedia (here) not the Arabic Wikipedia so the article there was probably not deleted based on our notability guideline. If they did use our notability guideline, they misused it as he clearly passes point #3 in your list as he is a Major General and according to that article "major general is the highest available rank for current Iranian commanders." -- GB fan 12:39, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  GB fan I don't think so. The Lieutenant general (Spahbed) is the highest rank after deleted General officer in Iran. Reza Amper (talk) 13:07, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

let's wait for what سامي الرحيلي will say. Reza Amper (talk) 13:11, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also, what do you think we need to wait for? Are you asking for me to wait from discussing the article until someone else comments? -- GB fan 13:52, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• You don't think what? That "major general is the highest available rank for current Iranian commanders."? That he clearly passes point #3 in the list you posted above? If it is the first one, the article major general needs to be fixed, but what the highest rank is does not make that much difference. If it is the second one, we have a very big difference of opinion as he is a general officer. -- GB fan 13:22, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - GB fan look:

this list--Reza Amper (talk) 15:03, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Currently in Iran major general is highest military rank and all Iranian chiefs are major general such as: Mohammad Ali Jafari (commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps), Ataollah Salehi (commander of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army), and Hassan Firouzabadi (Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces). Therefore, he has highest rank and confirm WP:SOLDIER #3. Also, in this source introduced him as a member of IRGC command network. In another words, Bagheri along with three other commanders take critical and important decisions and were participated in the several battles in the Iran-Iraq war (WP:SOLDIER #5).Saff V.
