Appairs not to be notable according to WP:NMODEL. Grrahnbahr (talk) 15:23, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am a Pakistani Norwegian, very well informed about Pakistani community in Norway. If being one from Pakistani community, I have not heard about Attia Bano Qamar before, how can I expect from ethnic Norwegian to know about her. I don't think she is notable enough to have an article about her.Mehmda (talk) 00:21, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are enough links to see that Attia Bano was actively involved in the Norway community. Mehmda is totally ignoring the links, and according to Mehmda those links are not right, because Mehmda has not heard, repeat "heard" about Attia Bano. There are many great news links of Attia Ba-no both in Canada and Norway. Please check the credibility of the links and no this article must not be deleted!--Sonisona 14:27, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Briefly mentioned in a TV-program doesn't qualify for notability, neither do articles in Se-her (Norvegian website for Se&Hør), as it doubtly qualify as a Wikipedia:RS. When it comes to participators at Norwegian reality-shows, usually only winners or participators known for other reasons are notable. The fact she doesn't have an own article in Norwegian, makes it unlikely she is notable (at the other side, I haven't seen any trace of her at any AfD in Norwegian).

Oslo is not a big city as Toronto, same goes for the Pakistani community which is much too small and less scattered than in Canada or Toronto. If One Pakistani turn out be notable, then there appear article about that person in papers like VG, Dagbladet, Aftenposten etc, in some case when the person is not that notable, we do HEAR stories about him/her in Oslo at Pakistani barbershop etc. Since, I am a pakistani origin Norwegian, lives in Oslo, so I claim to know about the notable pakistanies in Norway. But I don't claim to know about notable pakistani in Canada or Toronto. I find it so strange that Sonia, living in Canada, claims to know more about the notability of a particular Pakistani Norwegian than those who live in Oslo, Norway. Even Grrahnbahr does not believe in the notability of Attia Bano Qamar. I think the best soloution is to ask some other Norwegian origin admin about Attia Bano. I do know about more notable person with pakistani Origin like Bibi Razia, she started her acting career in early eighties with the theatre play named "Pakkis", her last work is Taxi. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0713638/ But we don't find her profile in wikipedia, neither in Norwegian, nor in English. The reason is that she does not have any Sonia behind her, who can market her so vigorously. While, I find few autobiographies, written by those who are not notable but they managed to do that. I hope, some admin would look in other articles too. I repeat again, Attia bano is not a notable person, unknown to Pakistani Norwegians and also to ethnic norwegians.Mehmda (talk) 02:25, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
