Delete Seems to be a promotional article done by someone who does not know Wiki policies on RS and references, etc. Since it has been sitting in this state for a couple of years, that's more than enough time for improvement. And it has not happened. It's too bad, I do think this person is -probably- notable, but the article is not up to it. Alaney2k (talk) 01:19, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Alaney2k, thanks for participating. If you think this person is probably notable, I encourage you to identify reliable sources. In particular, the lack of improvement over time (WP:NEGLECT) and low/promotional quality of the existing article (WP:RUBBISH) are both features of the article that can be changed, and are not overly relevant to the AfD process. Per WP:AFD, "If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for AfD." In this case, it looks like the relevant WP:DEL-REASONs are, as usual, whether the article subject meets WP:BIO/WP:GNG. Thanks! Suriname0 (talk) 16:05, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - She seems to meet WP:GNG and WP:BIO. She has attracted coverage independent from her work as a talking head by a variety of national US news outlets, e.g. Reuters^[1] and NPR.^[2] Related coverage during the opening of a "women's mosque".^[3]^[4] She was listed in the inaugural The 500 Most Influential Muslims, although it's not clear to me how important that is.^[5] Other sources I looked at: Short profile as part of list in a local magazine.^[6] Coverage of her as an expert in UT Austin's student paper.^[7] An interview at the Center for American Progress, so not independent.^[8] Suriname0 (talk) 23:36, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for the reasons Suriname0 has already stated. She's clearly notable. WestCD (talk) 02:57, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
