 * Keep The fact that someone from Tanzania got sigcov in a BBC article gives me the impression that there must also be national coverage from Tanzania. Notability is based on the existence of sources, not the current state of the article. Throwawiki (talk) 20:53, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Could you say which BBC article you are referencing? If it's this one (the one included in this Wiki article), then that isn't significantly covering her -- It's just showing she works for BBC Media Action in Tanzania. - Whisperjanes (talk) 21:59, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Nope, a different one. I added it as an external link to the artile. Throwawiki (talk) 22:31, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
 * , that's the person thing. That was auto-created because she had an article written about her. I think TAW meant to link . – Toxi  Boi!  (contribs) 03:45, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * , Thanks! This is really helpful. - Whisperjanes (talk) 03:53, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * , On Google news, the subject has just one article written about her, and in a very promotional way. I acknowledge that BBC is a reliable source, but we need more reliable sources for a biography to be on Wikipedia. Link for Google News: https://www.google.com/search?q=Meena+Ally&tbm=nws The only links available on the web are already cited on the Wikipedia page. Let me know what you think? Tatupiplu'talk


 * Delete: The only reliable link is from BBC, and the rest looks promotional. No online presence, and I've gone through the links cited in the article. Once she has a few more articles published, we can surely re-think this, but for now, I don't see any evidence for her to be on Wikipedia. -- Steven655 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:06, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep She is also mentioned in the The Citizen (Tanzania), and in Mpasho Kenya. 20:37, 7 April 2020 (UTC)IphisOfCrete (talk)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 09:03, 11 April 2020 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Even with one delete !vote ignored due to being created by a sock, there still seems enough disagreement both to the reliability of certain sources, and the level of sig cov in others, as to warrant an additional relist
 * Delete. A Google search of the subject doesn't show her being discussed in reliable sources. The sources cited in this AFD thread are not enough to justify a separate article at the moment.   Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 21:29, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: Most of the sources in the article, including the ones stated by IphisOfCrete and Throwawiki, are good enough for the article to pass WP:GNG. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 01:20, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep Meets GNG with the sources provided, coverage also in Swahili . AfD is not clean up. --Goldsztajn (talk) 07:35, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
