Hafsa Sultan (daughter of Selim I)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Like other princesses the subject has the potential for being notable enough in order to have a separate article on Wikipedia, but unfortunately unlike many other Ottoman princesses nothing is known about her life. The information that are currently included in this article seem to be incorrect and unrealistic such as the dates of birth and death which are totally unsourced. A huge amount of information has been removed during the past month due to the lack of reliable sources. The article, in my opinion, should be deleted because as I had mentioned in a previous discussion it is a duplicate of a previously deleted article titled Şehzade Sultan, which by the way was a fabricated article, and this brings on the possibility of this article being a hoax as well. Although I highly doubt that it's a hoax, yet as the article says nothing about her except that she was a daughter of Selim I, I think it either should be deleted or redirected to the article about her father. I couldn't find anything about her or anything related to her life but if anyone can expand this article and prove that she's notable, I will appreciate it. Keivan.f Talk 03:41, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete as NN -- The Ottomans kept their women in the harem, where most have little opportunity to do much of note. We have one general source on women at the Ottoman court.  The fact that the article quotes nothing but her genealogy implies to me that she was NN>  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:30, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
