Civil servant, not close to passing GNG. Sources in the article are a listing in a British-Bangladeshi list and a speaker profile at Internationalising Higher Education. Note that this is an extremely common name - there is a Malaysian academic with the same name([1]), and news coverage of various other individuals with this name - [2][3][4][5]. In my BEFORE, I was not able to find much more than a few random quotes of this individual. Icewhiz (talk) 06:35, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

delete there are a lot of women named Halima Begum in the world (searching in Latin alphabet). This is the one with a piddling 886 twitter followers (not a valid metric, but when I see 60,000 followers for a policy wonk I've never heard of, I take it as a hint that I should be able to find sources.) Problem is, scanning the hits, even using keywords, I'm not finding anything to support notability. She appears to be what the page indicates that she is, a non-notable British ecpert on economic development. There are only 3 sources on the page, a potted speaker's bio; a website celebrating British Bangladeshis; and a dead link to something called, "British Bangladeshi Power & Inspiration."

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete Plain GNG fail; even the article cannot tell what is she notable for. --nafSadh ^{did say}
Delete No evidence, let alone references, for notability. Other people in the 'Civil servants in the Department for International Development' category have been governors, won awards, published extensively, or were permanent secretaries, and/or now hold higher posts. The subject of this article has done none of these things, and the article reads like a CV or organisational profile. RebeccaGreen (talk) 15:31, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
