Delete. Just being "recognizeable" doesn't make you notable. I don't see evidence of significant coverage by reliable sources. Niteshift36 (talk) 15:41, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- How is an article solely about her not significant coverage? Hobit (talk) 17:24, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There is a very credible claim to notability backed up by sources, though it could do with more reliable sources. I'm all in favour of deletion of poorly referenced BLPs but we need to be careful with babies and bathwater. HJMitchell You rang? 18:37, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Notability in the Arab world is notability for en.Wikipedia. And being aware of how some names become Anglicized, I note that she is also sourcable as "Hilda Khalifeh", with note of her work in Afrik [2], and a bit more coverage in Waleg [3], something called Wikeez [4]... and she even has a fan club [5]. Finding western sources for Arabic notables is difficult... but we have enough to show we're aware the systemic bias can be countered. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 08:11, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
