The article is a recreation under deliberately misspelled title of Nicholas Alahverdian which has been created and deleted on 18 August 2013 following deletion discussion, which was later re-created, G4’d and salted on 29 August 2013 with a reinforcement of the salting on 13 February 2015. Similarly, under Nicholas Edward Alahverdian, creation, deletion and salting in February 2015. Similar salting circumvention attempt with another misspelled article under Nicolas Alaverdian.
Authors repeatedly removed CSD tags under IP addresses which I assume linked to the main author, preventing admin review of the CSD. Sockpuppet investigations have not been opened at the time, however there is indication given the IP address originated from Providence, RI and it may be autobiographic. Only meaningful contributor appears to be a single purpose account
One of the key claims for notability for the subject is the case of Alahverdian v. Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth and Families. This has also been subject of another AfD on 18 August 2013 with the result delete. Beyond this, notability is claimed to be established as member of the Rhode Island Future PAC, one of several thousand PACs in the US. Google searches here and here do not make this PAC notable, other than its existence in PAC registers. Besides, as per WP:INHERITED, notability of the PAC (which is not given), does not created notability of people connected with it.
Commentary on individual references in the article
1,2,10,11,13,16,21,24,25,26,34,36 – relate to original 2012 lawsuit, previously deemend insufficient for notability or WP:BLP1E
5 - self published
3,4 – PAC/Lobbyist registration related. Proving the fact, but not notability
6 – mention in passing as campaign manager for Brian Coogan (politician)
7 – IMDd not sufficient for notability
8,12,20,22,28,32,33 – dead/404/page time out
9,19,30 – login required for a database ( WP:PAYWALL)
14,37 – text of bill passed re. RI Department of CYF. No immediate evidence for individual notability
15,18 – mention in passing in relation to above bill and his court case
17,23,31 – unrelated/no mention at all
Therefore, the article likely falls under WP:BLP1E and lacks individual notability. Coverage is primarily in local media, therefore may fail depth of coverage and is (with few exceptions) not persistent. Google searches indicate significant tapering off in terms of coverage from 2015 onwards.pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 08:42, 21 October 2017 (UTC) reply

  • Delete and Salt- per the well reasoned and thoroughly researched nomination. Also, the fact that this has been re-created with an incorrect spelling just to get around previous delete consensus is reason enough to delet and salt this. Reyk YO! 17:14, 28 October 2017 (UTC) reply
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Delete with salt. Nothing here passes any of Wikipedia's "must-include" SNGs, the referencing is split about 50-50 between press coverage that just makes him a WP:BLP1E and/or just namechecks his existence without being about him, and unreliable or primary sources that cannot support encyclopedic notability at all, and deliberately misspelling the page title to dodge prior WP:SALT is a stunt that a person can get blocked for if they don't smarten up pretty quickly. As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which a person is entitled to an article just because he existswe make the rules for who gets an article and who doesn't, not the article subjects themselves.
