Fails WP:GNG and no provision for inclusion in Wikipedia for spouse of elected persons in WP:POLITICIAN. Just being the wife of a notable politician does not establish notability. Since the husband of the said person has a Wikipedia article here, it should be included in the article and there's no need creating a separate article for her.

Comment. She is not simply the spouse of someone who has a Wikipedia article, She is highly educated and is the founder and CEO of a NGO. IMHO, the focus should be if her work there is wiki worthy. I am not familiar enough with the subject to have an opinion on keep or delete but I strongly feel the discussion should focus on her accomplishments regardless of who her spouse is.

Comment. Anna Darius Ishaku is not just a wife of a notable politician, she is notable in her own lane as she is the founder of a Non-governmental organization "Hope Afresh Foundation", which is widely recognized in Nigeria. She is also a well educated Barrister and a member of the Nigerian Bar Association, and has held few appointments on her own even before becoming the wife of a governor, among which are; Solicitor-General and Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice Kaduna State, Chancellor of Anglican Diocese Kaduna State. I will plead with you to kindly check her work "Hope Afresh Foundation" to see more insights on the discussed person.

Moshswacide, Hope Afresh Foundation is a pure Taraba State government initiative and not necessarily the initiative of the governor's wife. It was created and operated from the Governor's wife office as soon as the tenure of the Governor started, as seen in 1 and 2. Until you convince me otherwise that she's really a notable figure, I don't find her passing either WP:GNG or WP:BIO just yet. NNADIGOODLUCK (Talk|Contribs) 21:38, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Nnadigoodluck, Hope Afresh Foundation is not a Taraba State government initiative but purely her initiative. In Nigeria, a governor and his family are under the state government, as seen here 1. I will refer you to the foundation official website here 2. You will notice that everything on her here begins with Barr. Anna Darius Ishaku and not as the wife of the governor. And again here 3, as a Non-governmental organization, support from any legit source is acceptable, so any government can as well support the foundation. Even Toyin Saraki's foundation was financial supported by Kwara State government when her husband Bukola Saraki was the governor. My point is, this is a foundation founded by Anna Darius Ishaku, not by Taraba State government and this foundation will not stop functioning even at the end of this government.

Kind regards. Moshswacide (talk) 15:36, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
