I don't see the current claims, even if accurate, as sufficient evidence of notability. I also see only one potential reliable source, and I'm not sure that presstv.ir is such a source. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 02:02, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Press TV is a reputable source, no worries. As for sources, it seems to be a big deal. AP, NPR (National Public Radio), Toronto Star, BBC News. There are a couple more, but you see my point. I think we can waive WP:BLP1E here, seeing that 'elections' are something rarely heard in Afghanistan, and 'woman + elections' even more so.

Delete: God bless any woman who runs for public office in the Middle East, but... all this article tells me about this person is that she's a political candidate and a widow. It doesn't even include her birthdate -- just a birth year. If this person is truly notable, why is the article a mere two sentences long? Non-notable as currently written.

Merge and redirect to Abdul Rahman (Afghan minister) or Afghan presidential election, 2009. I'm not convinced this subject warrants her own article under WP:BIO. Although she has been mentioned in some very reliable sources, the extent of that coverage is not significant. Other than being the widow of a Cabinet minister, there isn't much to say other than she is one of two women running for president in Afghanistan. Location (talk) 03:45, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- Although our nominator said he looked, and couldn't find any promising references, when I spent a few minutes I had no problem finding lots of sources. I have incorporated some of them into the article. Geo Swan (talk) 23:33, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
