The result was keep. Almost all !votes are keep, there are no !votes from SPAs or canvassed users and the number of independent reliable sources that have significant coverage of the subject rapidly increased during the discussion period. The AfD lasted two weeks, and all 2 delete !votes were in the first week. (non-admin closure) Luis150902 (talk &#124; contribs) 20:10, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete As per news reports, this is apparently a family affair blown out of proportions. If there had been inherent encyclopedic value – as in, something worthy that generations would love to read – I might have !voted a keep. However, this is absolutely the daily asylum-refused-news variety. Lourdes  02:13, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep I believe that this page, although badly written, must be kept. It highlights a dangerous case that actually stirred action in Saudi Arabia and outside, so I do not see a reason for deletion. I only suggest a rewriting.  •  Sammy Habib-Kemal Majed   •  Talk   •  Creations  •  Wikipedia Arabic   • 10:44, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per SammyMajed. The nominator's concern can be addressed by improving the article (WP:BEFORE). Luis150902 (talk | contribs) 16:38, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep the quality has improved substantially and there are plenty of reliable sources already cited and to be incorporated. Curious Sargon (talk) 16:01, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

@Redhat101 Just out of curiosity, do you have any evidence that she is still alive? Xoviat (talk) 04:24, 17 April 2017 (UTC)xoviat PAGE''' ]]) 14:55, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep the quality has improved, in the mean time more independent sources are available and have been incorporated. It is the will of Dina Ali that her story be published, Human rights experts say, information about the case will enhance her chances of survival Tania Schellenberg 10:00, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep This event received widespread media coverage. Moreover, the subject was an adult woman who was forcibly repatriated by her male relatives. This is significant because Filipino authorities apparently facilitated this action, which is illegal under international law Shwikiagg (talk 16:38, 16 April 2017 (UTC).
 * Delete Article is a blatant violation of WP:BLP. Redhat101   Talk  03:23, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
 * WP:BLP can also cover the recently deceased. --Ahecht ([[User_talk:Ahecht|'''TALK

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: On WP:BLP concerns.
 * Keep per all the relevant comments above, BUT some improvements and perhaps a reorganization are necessary --Kostas20142 (talk) 09:55, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep It appears that Dina is alive. On April 19, Bloomberg reported that Dina was in protective custody in Saudi Arabia and that officials are looking for a solution so that she can "live a normal life." However, Dina actively sought to publicize her circumstance, borrowing a phone to upload videos to twitter pleading for help. The goal is not to victimize the subject but to document a matter of growing public interest, and provide aggregated information for people who want to quickly get up to speed on the issue. The article includes numerous reliable sources, including a link to a HRW article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikilines (talk) 12:43, April 23, 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep As per WP:HASPOT the page has grown exponentially since it's creation less than 2 weeks ago, and the person/event in question has started a larger conversation which is receiving further media attention each day.  There is no doubt users are already coming to this page for information (based on traffic from the views tool above), and will continue to in the future. Jfameous (talk) 02:26, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
