Hawwa Fareeshaan

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Possible covert UPE article on a politician who fails to satisfy any of the criterion from WP:NPOL. The creator of this article has move-warred over this so sending the article to AFD is the only route now. A before search predominantly links me to her social media thus failing to meet #2 of WP:NPOL. Celestina007 (talk) 22:05, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. Can someone who's familiar with governance in Maldives comment on whether her council seat is equivalent to a "state/province–wide office"? It appears that each atoll has its own council, but from what I gather power is quite centralized, so these councils might not qualify for NPOL#1. pburka (talk) 22:19, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete While not familiar with governance in the Maldives, it looks like the sub-national level are Administrative divisions and the subject is the member of a local council on of one of the islands within an administrative division. Best, GPL93 (talk) 23:06, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete this is somewhat complex (welcome to AfD!). The 2008 constitution codified decentralised administration in the Maldives, including an article which indicates subnational bodies can enact subordinate legislation (which implies these subnational bodies do not have a legislative capacity as would be the case in federal systems, eg Pakistan, Canada, Switzerland etc). FWIW, I'm not aware of any source which considers the 2008 constitution federal (or equivalent) in nature. The 2010 Decentralisation Act elaborated administration below the national level. Within that there are Atoll Councils, Island Councils, and City Councils as well as a Local Government Authority. A precursory glance at this possibly suggests to me that Atoll Councils (which would include islands and cities) might be enough to justify a territorial threshold for NPOL, but the others not.  It's possible that Board membership in the LGA would be notable given it oversees all local governance bodies. It's unfortunate given the limited number of women active in Maldivian politics, but nevertheless on the basis of notability as a member of an island council and the absence of any evidence of passing BASIC/GNG it leads me to supporting delete.
