Biography articles should only be for people with some sort of fame, achievement, or perhaps notoriety. One measure of publicity is whether someone has been featured in several external sources (on or off-line). Less well-known people may be mentioned within other articles, in this case within the Konnie Huq (her sister) article. Also this page is incorrectly listed under the British Politican stub, This person was merely a candidate and failed to be become a Member of the European Parliament for the North West 84.69.85.231 18:28, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This article should be kept
Biography articles should only be for people with some sort of fame, achievement, or perhaps notoriety. Which is exactly the cast with this article on Dr Huq. She is the most substantial female politician to emerge from british asian women. At the moment there is not one single british asian women in parliament depsite the significant contribution that asian women make to british society. Therefore being twice a parliamentary candidate is a significant achievement that should be recorded on wiki, which is supposed to be a comprehensive source of information and not open to political manipulation.
