Seems to be riding notability based solely as a participant of BBC's 100 Women show. The criteria for being on the list is just a survey of different women around the world, and not anything especially notable. Other than being on the show, person is WP:LOWPROFILE Article was also created by a blocked editor. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 23:38, 11 December 2017 (UTC) updated 18:17, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

According to the BBC, they try to pick "100 influential and inspirational women around the world every year." But the question arises as to whether being selected and volunteering to participate in the program makes the person notable and getting press as a result of being on the program now makes them notable. Some people on the list are already notable. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 18:17, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've started a discussion on Wikipedia talk:Notability_(people)#BBC_100_Women on whether the women listed on this program are inherently notable. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 18:26, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Not even "30 under 30" or similar lists make people notable, being in a list of 100, especially when it is not clear if it is the first 100 chosen, or as is more likely, keeps going till they get 100 participants, is not at all a sign of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:17, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
