Fatima al-Samarqandi

Fails GNG on several counts. Also, the article promotes the books authored by her father and husband. Atsme Talk 📧 13:28, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep: appears to be thoroughly notable, the subject of several scholarly works - and "promotional" hardly applies to 12th-century publications. Pam  D  11:52, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I meant it in that there was more about those books than about anything that promoted or contributed to her meeting GNG. Atsme Talk 📧 13:26, 19 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep though without knowing any Arabic or Persian I can't do a proper search. Her name seems to be expressed in several ways and she is also known by some epithets (such as Musnida Isfahan). She was clearly very important and, even if the references I have found are rather passing in nature, they do allude to her considerable significance. I did find https://www.islamreligion.com/articles/11336/women-scholars-in-islam-part-2-of-2/ however. I can't help but feel she should pass WP:PROF even if not according the (rather shamefully Western-recentist) specific notes given there. Sadly, she does not appear to have taken part in a football match in a fully professional league. Thincat (talk) 12:19, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep: a reasonable article on a historical figure. The encyclopedia would not be improved by removing this article. --K.e.coffman (talk) 02:30, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
