The result was no consensus. The discussion was tending toward "keep," but it sounds like some improvement of the article will be necessary to firmly establish it here. I suggest allowing some time for improvement before renomination. MelanieN (talk) 01:17, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete as nothing at all suggesting better applicable notability. SwisterTwister   talk  19:11, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Weak delete : I must concur with SisterTwister that there appear to be inadequate indicia of notability on this one. If others can produce evidence to the contrary, I will reconsider my position.   Montanabw (talk)  23:06, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: This looks like a case where there is a serious risk of WP:BIAS. The subject seems to be an Arabic-speaking actress with a level of popularity as a female television comedian which would effectively guarantee the notability of her equivalent in an English-speaking country. The trouble is that most of the sources we need are likely to be in Arabic - the ones visible in English (and many of those in French) on a Google search tend to the "celebrity gets into spat" type (most recently and visibly, only a week or so ago) which don't give much background information about the celebrity and where even a mention of the spat would probably be WP:UNDUE. Though this from The Guardian (search within it for "Comedy gold"), while not very substantial, is directly about her and does give some information (though possibly concentrating a little too exclusively on L'Couple).

 * Keep I disagree with that there isn't enough coverage and I hope she may change her mind. I have found information about Boutazout's divorce:, , , an article about her with an interview and a list of TV series she's been in:  and others. She's had roles in at least 6 different TV shows: Clanely TV (2006), Jouha ya Jouha (2010), Okba Lik (2010), Dima Jirane (2011), Yak Hna Jirane (2012) and L'Couple (2013). Her promotion of Activia:, A piece on L'Couple: , news where she is the victim of an accident in Marrakech: , , etc. I agree with  about making sure we avoid bias in Wiki, so I hope this information helps.

 * Changed my vote to !Keep per research of Megalibrarygirl. I'd like to see someone who has some Arabic language skills take a look at those sources, but I'm seeing enough for me.  Montanabw (talk)  23:44, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
