Lucky Akter

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

 * comment There appears to be an undeclared conflict of interest here. describes themselves as a leader of the BSU, which Lucky Akter is (or was) president of. Before I removed it, the article was full of unsourced detail like her date and place of birth, educational history, height, marriage, child, when she joined organizations, and what she experienced there. If that information didn't come from reliable secondary sources, where did it come from?
 * A couple of good sources are cited ( and ), but many of the others are written by her or are press releases. It's okay to cite such sources occasionally for details you can't find in better sources, but they don't contribute to notability and there's no reason to cite multiple versions of one announcement. It's also essential that the sources support the content where they're cited, which many don't do at present. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:34, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

 * comment and  delete – I agree with the comment about the conflict of interest. Look at the information accompanying the photograph. The photographer, who took the picture three years ago, just happens to be the article creator, too. Fails WP:POLITICIAN and WP:GNG. Ira Leviton (talk)
 * Delete Unelected candidates for office are not automatically considered notable, and she doesn't seem to meet GNG. Also, "representation of female activists and leaders from South Asia" is not a valid reason to maintain a page on Wikipedia. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 06:30, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
