 * Delete As written, no notability outside being a First Lady, and that's not enough (notability cannot be inherited from their husband's notable post). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:38, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Even considering deleting an article on the first lady of a major country shows a troubling lack of awareness of systemic bias. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:02, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Further checking, in HighBeam, shows plenty of RS. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:04, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Apparently no one did WP:BEFORE as simply reading the sources already on the file show that she was an active first lady, playing host to world leaders throughout her husband's presidency. Prior to that, she was a "partner in the Labor Law Journal" her husband began as well as a human and animal rights activist. Her activism against harm of silkworms led to development of techniques to create silk without killing the silk worms. SusunW (talk) 19:58, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep: Accomplishments in the public sphere as First Lady of India alone would qualify her, but in addition, her own accomplishments stand alone and establish independent notability. Clearly a systemic bias issue that this article is even up for AfD.  Montanabw (talk)  03:13, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable deceased person. Good potential here for Good Article page. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 05:45, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, notified as article creator. Clear keep as would be with any first lady of a major nation. Confusion over why this is even being contested. Chandlerjoeyross (talk) 19:37, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
