Comment: The main issue here is that she is only notable as a victim of a notable event. Read WP:1E for guidance but that guideline suggests anything notable about her should be incorporated into the article about the crash. Secondly, this is written like a eulogy rather than an article. If it passes the notability threshold it will also need rewriting to a neutral tone. MarcGarver (talk) 12:14, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Mahdieh Ghavi (died January 8, 2020) was an Iranian student and younger sister of Masoumeh Ghavi. She was pursuing studies in Canada at the time of her death and was known for her close bond with her sister, who supported her educational and personal journey.
Early Life and Education
[edit]Mahdieh Ghavi excelled academically, pursuing a degree in pharmacy in Iran. With her sister Masoumeh’s support, she later enrolled in a Biology program at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, Canada. Mahdieh’s ambition and commitment to her studies reflected the drive shared by both sisters.[1][2]
Relationship with Masoumeh Ghavi
[edit]Mahdieh and Masoumeh had a close sibling bond, often described by Masoumeh as akin to a mother-daughter relationship. Masoumeh returned to Iran over the holidays in late 2019 to accompany Mahdieh on her journey to Canada, prioritizing her sister’s safety and companionship. Both sisters were on Flight PS752 en route to Canada when it was shot down by the IRGC.[1]
Flight PS752 and Legacy
[edit]On January 8, 2020, Mahdieh Ghavi, along with her sister and 174 others, perished when Flight PS752 was shot down shortly after takeoff from Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport. In the wake of the tragedy, family members and international organizations, including the Association of Families of Flight PS752 Victims, have advocated for transparency and justice regarding the crime. The Ghavi sisters' deaths have come to symbolize the pursuit of accountability and remembrance for those lost in the downing of the civilian flight.[3]
Masoumeh and Mahdieh are laid to rest together in the yard of Imamzadeh Saleh in Tajrish, Tehran, a place where their memory continues to inspire advocacy for transparency and accountability for the events of January 8, 2020.[2]
Ghavi Sisters
[edit]Masoumeh (Masi) and Mahdieh Ghavi shared a deep and loving bond, often described as more than just siblings; Masoumeh saw herself as a second mother to Mahdieh. Throughout their lives, the sisters supported each other’s academic and personal ambitions. Masoumeh, a talented telecommunications engineer, took it upon herself to assist her younger sister in achieving her dreams. She helped Mahdieh gain admission to Saint Mary’s University in Canada, where Mahdieh planned to continue her studies in biology.
Their close relationship was marked by unwavering support and companionship. Before Mahdieh’s journey to Canada, Masoumeh traveled back to Iran to accompany her sister, ensuring her safety and comfort on the long journey. Their love and dedication to each other were evident in this decision, reflecting Masoumeh’s protective and caring nature.
Tragically, the sisters were together on Ukraine International Airlines Flight PS752 on January 8, 2020, when it was downed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) near Tehran. They are buried side by side in the yard of Imamzadeh Saleh in Tajrish, Tehran. Their shared resting place has become a symbol of their enduring bond and the love they held for one another, inspiring those who remember them to advocate for justice for the victims of the PS752 tragedy.[1]
