Farida Khambata

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I do not believe Khambata passess our notability guidelines. At time of the nomination, this is sourced to company web pages. In my WP:BEFORE I found a few better sources, however they are mostly lacking in depth and are brief quotes of Khambata in her role as director or financial analyst. The most in-depth sources are from her nomination as a board member on Tata Sons's board of directors and appear to rely possibly on company PR (e.g. ). For completeness, she has authored a few academic articles in the 80s and a few are cited (top 5: 90, 71, 9, 3, 2), however this is not sufficient for academic notability.

 * Keep Ms Khambata is a prominent economist in the international forum as a former key decision making member at International Finance Corporation (itself a member organization of the World Bank and an economic watchdog of emerging markets). She has been credited in atleast one trusted source ( IMF]) in coining the term "Frontier markets", a distinction recognized and used by established financial bodies (like in this one from WFE where she is again credited) and publishers (e.g this and this) to better analyze developing economies. The page needs significant improvement but must be considered a keep.  SaHiL (talk) 20:37, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
 * SaHiL created this article. ResearchGate is a presentation and a brief mention (two bullets). In IMF there is one sentence ("Following the advent of the concept of emerging markets in the early 1980s, Farida Khambata of the International Finance Corporation introduced the notion of frontier markets in the following decade."). The other sources mentioned by SaHiL do not even mention Khambata.--Eostrix (talk) 06:13, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
 * After a little revisit, I have removed 'ResearchGate' as a referable source. However, In the IMF Library, she is not just passingly mentioned by the author, but credited for the term "Frontier Markets", of which a whole chapter is dedicated (Chapter 8. Frontier Markets in Asia and Beyond). The other two publisher links (this and this) are articles on Frontier Markets, added to establish the impact she had on the World economic forum. Here're more sources ( ForeignPolicy.com, GlobalCapital.com). Here's a 1981 case study and a 1982 book she co-authored, both published by the world bank. These publication's are also referred as a source of other books on emerging economics like in here and here. Lastly, "SaHiL created this article" could have been credible reason for AFD if the article was about "Sahil" (WP:PROUD) or written as a promoting advert, which this article is neither. The article, about an established economist with decades of presence and recognition in the Emerging Markets forum and in major South Asian corporations, was created because it simply wasn't there when it should've been. It just needs more definitive contributions from the WP community -- SaHiL (talk) 15:45, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:GNG. Not notable as an economist or as an academic, despite copious references letting us know this person exists. Notability is more then that. Newshunter12 (talk) 05:05, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
