I don't think this article meets the notability for Events as it doesn't meet the following Inclusion criteria:

• WP:LASTING
• WP:GEOSCOPE
• WP:INDEPTH

The fact that Reza Mostafavai Tabatabaei made a donation to Donald Trump's campaign doesn't fix the above criteria in my opinion. Shemtovca (talk) 02:42, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
