Talk:Ghadir Shafie

Life section and notability
I cut a fairly large paragraph from the "life" section that was sourced to something she wrote herself. Please add independent sources if the material is restored; relying on one source by the subject ends up being promotional text that parrots the subject. The article needs more independent sourcing, as at the moment it has two sources written by the subject and two that are not.--- Possibly (talk) 19:45, 15 May 2021 (UTC)


 * , thanks for the explanation. I was wondering about that as I hit publish, and I'm glad you removed the paragraph – I see now that it definitely didn't follow WP:SELFSOURCE. I'll look for more independent sourcing both for that section and for the article as a whole. ezlev $tlk ctrbs$ 20:14, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the note. I think the danger here is that the article could be more or less defined by the things she has said about herself, rather than by independent sources.--- Possibly (talk) 20:35, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I've also added the blp sources and notability tags. There does not seem to be enough independent sourcing. Too much of it is directly connected to her, like the selfsource items above, or the tv interview. I think it may be WP:TOOSOON for her to have an article, but I'll give it some time before sending it to AfD.--- Possibly (talk) 20:42, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , thank you for giving me a bit of time to work. I've had a couple articles CSD tagged while I'm still improving them, and that's never fun. I've added a lot more independent sourcing, if you want to take another look? ezlev $tlk ctrbs$ 22:17, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
