Preeti Sharma Menon[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Spokesperson of a major Indian political party so obviously mentions in the press is expected, but I would consider it WP:ROUTINE. I am unable to locate significant in-depth coverage in independent RS on the subject which discusses Menon directly and in-detail. Therefore to me the subject does not appear to meet relevant notability guidelines in particularly WP:POLITICIAN (since Menon never elected to national or even state level parliament).

For what it's worth, the bio appears promotional in tone (created by a newbie) and contain a lot of original research and first hand knowledge so I assume there is some COI. --Saqib (talk) 18:24, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I found numerous sources that cover this person, mostly due to her leaving the party and over possible allegations of corruption (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). I believe she does meet WP:POLITICIAN due to the array of coverage on this person during her political career, but I'm failing to find references that provide enough coverage where a full article could be written about this person without the use of original research (a requirement for meeting WP:GNG). I agree that the references are lacking and very poor in the areas of her life and post-political career, which I believe are pieces that one would typically say would be essential to writing a "full article" about this subject, but that doesn't mean that they don't exist. Hence, I'm just adding this as a comment in order to help others with reaching a determination here. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 06:31, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. As I said there are plenty news pieces which mention the subject, but I could not locate some specific references which produce any substantial information about Menon or which I believe meet the criteria for establishing notability. perhaps Wikipedia:TOOSOON? --Saqib (talk) 08:28, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Saqib and others ,

I believe your political understanding is very low, just because she doesn't contested election or became MLA / MP doesn't mean she is not notable person.

She is quite famous and has taken up many issues which directly connect to mass.

This article deletion seems to be illogical to me.

Weak Keep So I took a look at this article. First I found her native name (प्रीति शर्मा मेनन) and added it to the article. After using that as a search term, I was able to find more coverage in her native language. I added several more sources and added more information to the article, and I believe it now just satisfies WP:GNG for significant coverage in secondary sources.

OK but In no source presented can I find the subject discussed with the "significant coverage" WP:GNG requires. --Saqib (talk) 09:14, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
