No notability as far as I can tell. No sources written about this individual and the one source listed in the article leads to nowhere. Fails WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV.Jaguarnik (talk) 17:21, 9 December 2022 (UTC) Relisting comment: Thoughts on BennyOnTheLoose's sources? Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete Google search doesn't reveal anything helpful. As such, this fails GNG in my opinion, and there's no indication of WP:NJOURNALIST being met either. ─ The Aafī   (talk)  18:59, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing found, social media sites, a few by-lines for her. Oaktree b (talk) 21:14, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - coverage examples: "City student walks into Miss Asia title", The Birmingham Post, January 23, 2003; "BRUM MISS IS A BIG HIT - Arshia nets beauty title", Birmingham Evening Mail, January 22, 2003; Former Miss Asia UK is new Asian Voice of the Airwaves; BBC profile. Other possibly less-reliable sources: New presenter for BBC WM’s ‘Midlands Masala’, Profile at Pride of Pakistan. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 12:38, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Thank you for your input, I can see that there are indeed a few sources about her. However, I don't believe the BBC profile works, it may be a case of WP:ABOUTSELF seeing as she worked at the BBC. Pride of Pakistan uses profiles that are user-submitted, and they do not do independent coverage on the profiles, as said here. (https://www.prideofpakistan.com/who-is-who/arshia%20riaz-1) For the others, I am not saying they are irrelevant. They were years ago, though, and there hasn't really been new coverage on her since then. It's also not a lot of coverage. But I'm not an expert editor, I will wait for the opinions of others.

 * Also, I can't find the first source from the Birmingham Post, so it would be hard to use it to improve her article. Jaguarnik (talk) 03:29, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
 * The Birmingham Post article can be found on NewsBank but is quite similar to the Birmingham Evening Mail article. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 18:59, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
