The result was redirect to Green National Committee#Steering Committee. Consensus is that notability criteria are not met, but there is a sensible redirect target. Sandstein 07:35, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when somebody can do better. There is a potentially valid notability claim here as a co-chair of a political party, if she can be sourced well enough to clear WP:GNG for it — but there's nothing here that hands her an automatic WP:NPOL pass just for existing, and with two sources that namecheck her existence in the process of being about subjects other than her, one piece of purely local coverage in her own hometown media and just one source that's substantively about her and more than local, that's not enough sourcing to clear GNG.

Comment: In a case like this, my preference would be to find a suitable merge target; however, the most suitable one would likely be Green National Committee#Steering Committee, which would only need Hakeem's name, dates of service, and an associated source/reference. The main obstacle to clearing WP:GNG seems to be the criterion for significant coverage. There are plenty of passing and/or trivial mentions in reliable sources (e.g. [1], [2], and [3]). The only independent source with significant coverage that I could find was [4], which is already cited in the article. ([5] and [6] also provide non-trivial coverage, but are not independent.) ebbillings (talk) 21:44, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
delete I saw this and thought hijabi-with-serious-political-accomplishments easy keep. But I have come around to Nom's perspective. News coverage and accomplishments are scanty/minor, and petered out several years ago. note that some search hits in American newspapers on "Farheen Hakeem" are unrelated to this individual.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:39, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
