Notability
I was asked to comment on the notability of this subject. As I understand it, biographical notability primarily depends on the number and quality of the secondary sources that cover the subject. The main reliable sources for this subject are the Express Tribune and Dawn, two well established English language Pakistani newspapers. The Dawn articles appear to have been written by an alumnus of the school which reduces the value of the sources. The primary source for the mention of the subject in the ET article of March 2012 (which is anonymously authored) is the same person who wrote the Dawn articles, Zubeida Mustafa, so the foundation for notability is thin. I'd like to see more sources, such as the subject's obituary in the Express Herald (June 2013) that do not derive from Mustafa.

I think the school is clearly notable and the subject's role in leading it is significant but my opinion is irrelevant. I think we need more secondary sources, especially from the years of Pinto's tenure as principal.

[Note: the school's web site is not reliable and in addition, the link to it in the article is broken. Also I think the sentence "Besides teaching she is interested in cooking, reading, music, flowers, and people" is not encyclopedic (disregarding the incorrect tense) and weakens the case for notability by it's triviality.] Joja  lozzo  03:48, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
