Rabia Haseki Sultan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsourced, unable to locate reliable sources to support notability in accordance with the general notability guidelines. At this point, I can only find mirror sites. Hoping for more input and possible research to find Turkish sources. Lacking notability, this should be deleted. Cindy ( talk ) 15:04, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. If you were the favored concubine of a seventeenth-century Ottoman sultan, you're not going to get online coverage unless you're exceptionally significant.  However, you're going to get plenty of coverage in print sources from the era — after all, you're basically the closest possible thing to a queen/empress that existed for the Ottoman Empire at this time.  Given the total lack of sources currently in the article, I initially wondered if she were made-up or the result of a misread source, but it turns out that such is not the case: the İstanbul city government discusses her to a small extent and confirms that she was important enough to Ahmed II that she was actually buried with him.  The basic concept of the article (that such a woman existed and was a high concubine of this sultan) is definitely accurate.  Finally, let me note that the point of WP:BIO is to get rid of articles on insignificant people; the favorite concubine of the Ottoman sultan near its height was definitely "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded", to quote the intro to WP:BIO.
