Arifa Sayeda Zehra

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unelected MP, and an interim cabinet minister in a country where we've a unique system of interim government - both at the centre and in the provinces.

I don't think interim cabinet minister are something that would be expected to have an article on English Wikipedia, unless pass GNG.

Subject also lacks non-trivial coverage from independent reliable sources and therefore does not appear to meet basic GNG as well. Saqib (talk) 18:45, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Lack of description in independent sources. Orientls (talk) 11:51, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Whoever is filling the office of cabinet minister is notable, regardless of the peculiarity of the official title. (I gather  that by "unique" in this case it is likely to be for more than a short time, regardless of the word "interim" )  DGG ( talk ) 23:58, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 05:46, 28 September 2018 (UTC) Keep, changing my vote as I think the reasoning provided by is more sound. The subject has been part of a number of news sources. Thanks, Knightrises10   talk   10:52, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete I don't think being part of a 20 person temporary cabinet guarantees notability and my search didn't turn up enough significant independent coverage to meet WP:GNG. If someone can turn up additional significant coverage from Pakistani sources I'm willing to reconsider my vote. Papaursa (talk) 01:41, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep I believe that the additional sources found below by Thsmi002 and Originalmess are more than enough to show that WP:GNG is met. I thought the article had one good source when I originally voted, but now I think more have been found. Papaursa (talk) 22:46, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: No consensus yet with regards to either of WP:GNG and WP:PROF.
 * Comment A professor, college principal and politician would seem to indicate the person has some notability. But there seems precious little information available in reliable sources.  WCM email 13:34, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:PROF#6 as the principal of the Lahore College for Women University. I agree with WCM that sourcing is sparse. Also, based on sources:    I think the article should be renamed to Arfa Sayeda Zehra. Thsmi002 (talk) 12:54, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep I'm not sure if WP:PROF #6 applies; someone with more knowledge of the Pakistani university system should know if principal is ever the highest position - principal could've been the highest post at that point, but it currently is not. However, here's more sources: 1 2 3 (smaller mention/her opening remarks at a forum she ran) 4 5 6. I'm too tired to check how well they apply to GNG with the other sources, but they (and one of the other sources found by Thsmi002) might make a case for WP:PROF #1. She seems to be highly respected in the Urdu language field, which is her country's national language. If they don't support GNG or PROF#1, I'll change my vote.  originalmess  how u doin that busta rhyme? 06:43, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
