This article has sat at the back of the NPP queue for a while now - was sent to draft, then returned to mainspace without improvement. The subject fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. Siti Zainab is an Indonesian singer and actress, was a child actress in two Indonesian films in 1949 and four others in 1950 when, presumably, she was still a child actress. She starred in none of them. There is no evidence of her being notable as a singer. Of the three sources in the article, the first is apparently an interview with her and her parents when she was 16. The second two are unverifiable, neither source returns a result when searched for 'Zainab' - the same sources are present in the Indonesian WP article, which this article would appear to be a translation of. Her husband closed recently as 'no consensus' but also would appear to fail WP:GNG and her son has an article in Enwiki (both the same author) but not one in Indonesian and I'm having a hard time not nominating that article as well. It's all cruft. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 04:58, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete If she meets WP:NACTOR or WP:MUSICBIO, then it is not obvious from the available citations. For example we do not know if she has at least 2 leading roles. The issue here is that her career is from the 40's and 50's so it would be hard to verify anything and find proper sources, specially in Indonesian. We should probably be more cautious but based on the rules it should be deleted.Hkkingg (talk) 18:08, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
