Talk:Ouk Chhayavy

Notability
John B123: First of all, thank you for all your hard work reviewing new pages. It's always a pleasure to see a new article of mine has made it through your review.

As for this article, you tagged it for notability. I don't know where to properly reply to that, so I'll do it here. If it's not the proper way, please let me know. As far as I see it, the article fulfills the notability criteria for politicians (since there are no criteria for trade unionists). Ouk Chhayavy occupies the highest position in a national trade union that is by itself highly notable. The alleged attack on her has also made international news.

The article obviously still lacks sources, but I want to attribute this to systemic bias - for example, Ouk Chhayavy's union, CITA, is highly notable in Cambodian labour and politics as one of the main opposition-aligned unions - but as you can see, we don't have an article for it as of yet (though I'm working on that). I also bet there are more source in Cambodian, but sadly I don't speak that language. Cambodia as a country is also highly restrictive against trade union activity, which also means their coverage is highly restricted. For all of these reasons, I would like to remove the notability tag, if you don't object. Zarasophos (talk) 22:40, 3 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi . As you point out, there are no WP:SNGs for trade unionists, but unfortunately WP:POLITICIAN can't be applied to them. Although most leaders of Trade Unions are notable, this is shown by WP:GNG - received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
 * Doing a quick search on Google, there seems to be enough sources in English to add to the article and establish WP:GNG. Regards. --John B123 (talk) 22:59, 3 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your quick reply. I added two more sources, the most substantive ones I could find, which I think pushes the article above WP:GNG. I've removed the notability tag for now, but feel free to add it back in if you think the sources still aren't good enough. Zarasophos (talk) 09:02, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
