The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. There is good-faith disagreement as to exactly whether this individual passes relevant notability guidelines. A significant amount of coverage has been provided, but participants appear very much split over whether it in aggregate passes WP:GNG. ~ mazca ^talk 00:10, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A state president of party, which does not make her notable. Even she was not elected in state and general election. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NPOL. S. M. Nazmus Shakib (talk) 20:03, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why isn't being Secretary General for a regional party notable? She is mentioned in the press, by recognized secondary sources. PMCH2 (talk) 15:22, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

because it is not considered a notable post to merit an article. --DBig Xrayᗙ 09:24, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The proposer is mistaken about WP:GNG, she appears to pass GNG based solely on the sources already included in the article. I would need a stronger rationale for why they feel she is not notable. IphisOfCrete (talk) 18:44, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:NPOL as the subject never won any assembly or national elections neither held any major public post to merit an article. The notability bar for the politicians is higher since they almost always get some amount of coverage as a candidate of a notable political party. DBig Xrayᗙ 05:29, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - per WP:NPOL, WP:BLP1E, and WP:SOAP. Party officials are not automatically notable, and there is more coverage of her activism than politics per se. I'm concerned because we are not a soap-box. Bearian (talk) 19:56, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: No consensus at this time, but even if party officials aren't notable just because, they can still meet WP:GNG.

Weak delete, per WP:NPOL and WP:BLP1E. Tayi Arajakate (talk) 18:40, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the subject looks like they clearly pass GNG to me. Mccapra (talk) 05:09, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can you share the sources that you are using to claim WP:GNG. It is expected that the participants post the link on AfD as evidence for their claims. I reviewed all the refs in the article again and I stand by my opinion above to delete. Passing mentions and mentions in article about party infighting or party events cannot be claimed as WP:SIGCOV DBig Xrayᗙ 09:24, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. She seems to be regularly in the news offering commentary on political affairs but as you say much of that is passing and not in depth. The ones I’ve found that indicate she passes GNG are 1, 2,3, 4,5,6, 7 and 8. Thanks. Mccapra (talk) 07:53, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
