Comment. I've done some work on the article. I'll see if others do too before !voting. It's a depressing process trying to find background on her because what this has taught me is that:

She is one of the most notable women writers in Bahrain, one of only five Bahrainis invited to an official dinner in 2013.^[1]
It's exceptionally difficult for women to get noticed in Bahrain for writing, the best chance is if they first get translated into English first^[2]

Of course, Wikipedia doesn't account for this and holds women in countries with exceptional levels of gender inequity to the same notability standard as those in every other country. I'm not sure if she is notable by wikipedia standards. But she should be. But this isn't the place to change wikipedia notability guidelines. So for now, I abstain.

She could be notable by WP:AUTHOR if you can find multiple reviews of her books that have been published in newspapers, journals etc. It seems her books were translated into English, so this may actually exist. --hroest 17:28, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
