Earlier removed (Articles for deletion/Farahnaz Forotan) as being a promotional BLP and failing WP:GNG. After a little detour through a sandbox and AfC it is now back. There are some sources added, but as far as I can decipher them, they fail WP:RS The Banner talk 09:02, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * The original author has added numerous extra sources, but I think he does not understand WP:RS. Most sources contain statements given by ms. Forotan, but do not write about her. The Banner talk 18:59, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Author admits a clear WP:COI. See File:Farahnaz forotan.jpg where he states: Farahnaz Forotan is a female Afghan Journalist. this is her official Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/FForotan/ she asked me to help her to write her bio on Wikipedia and she has Permitted me to use her photo for her bio.

 * delete  I do not pretend to read Farsi.  My comment (sourcing does not exist, see this news google search  nothing there.  The sources on the page may well be primary, or government related.  She is young, attractive, with a highly sympathetic backstory that is being pushed by someone, but that cannot be validated with RS.) from the AFD last monty still stands.  I will add only that I ran that search again, and theat there is nothing out there to validate notability in a Latin alphabet.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:13, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep War heros are notable, or not? pajhwok Afghan News notes that Farahnaz Forotan of Aryana Television, Shakila Shirzad of Shamshad Television and Wahida Faizi of Salam Watandar were given ‘Malalai Maiwand war hero medal.
 * Depends. Not everybody with a medal is noteworthy. But it is an interesting development. Could you provide us with extra sources and an evaluation about the value of the medal (i.e. some medals are more important than others).
