Preeti Sharma Menon

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Spokesperson of a major Indian political party so obviously mentions in the press is expected, but I would consider it WP:ROUTINE. I am unable to locate significant in-depth coverage in independent RS on the subject which discusses Menon directly and in-detail. Therefore to me the subject does not appear to meet relevant notability guidelines in particularly WP:POLITICIAN (since Menon never elected to national or even state level parliament).

For what it's worth, the bio appears promotional in tone (created by a newbie) and contain a lot of original research and first hand knowledge so I assume there is some COI. --Saqib (talk) 18:24, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment - I found numerous sources that cover this person, mostly due to her leaving the party and over possible allegations of corruption (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). I believe she does meet WP:POLITICIAN due to the array of coverage on this person during her political career, but I'm failing to find references that provide enough coverage where a full article could be written about this person without the use of original research (a requirement for meeting WP:GNG). I agree that the references are lacking and very poor in the areas of her life and post-political career, which I believe are pieces that one would typically say would be essential to writing a "full article" about this subject, but that doesn't mean that they don't exist. Hence, I'm just adding this as a comment in order to help others with reaching a determination here.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   06:31, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Exactly. As I said there are plenty news pieces which mention the subject, but I could not locate some specific references which produce any substantial information about Menon or which I believe meet the criteria for establishing notability. perhaps Wikipedia:TOOSOON? --Saqib (talk) 08:28, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Dear Saqib and others ,

I believe your political understanding is very low, just because she doesn't contested election or became MLA / MP doesn't mean she is not notable person.

She is quite famous and has taken up many issues which directly connect to mass.

This article deletion seems to be illogical to me.

 * Weak Keep So I took a look at this article. First I found her native name (प्रीति शर्मा मेनन) and added it to the article. After using that as a search term, I was able to find more coverage in her native language. I added several more sources and added more information to the article, and I believe it now just satisfies WP:GNG for significant coverage in secondary sources.

 * OK but In no source presented can I find the subject discussed with the "significant coverage" WP:GNG requires. --Saqib (talk) 09:14, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
