 * Keep? ... Speedy keep? - I'm not sure if there's a deletion rationale in there or not, but not only does the person appear to be easily notable, their book on it's own appears to be notable too. I really don't know one way or the other what the reliability of firstpost.com is but there seems to be a few thousands of alternatives available if the article needs better sourcing.

 * I couldn't understand your point. You want to keep this article or not? NehalDaveND (talk) 17:13, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, the subject is notable. For example: Huffington Post, The Wire, BBC. News search alone returns about 16,000 sources. Timothy Joseph Wood  17:25, 17 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Snow keep as the subject (and the books she has authored) has been covered extensively by the Indian media. I feel that this nomination has not been done in good faith, since the nominator seems to have a bias against Ayyub and FirstPost (I'm not even sure how FirstPost is relevant to the article). The nominator should read WP:GNG properly before making frivolous AfD requests like this. — Stringy Acid (talk) 18:44, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Rana Ayyub was in the news (2011 2013 2014 2015) even before she authored and published the much talked about Gujarat Files in 2016 (The Hindu Hindustan Times Business Standard The Times of India Frontline The Telegraph Mint Deccan Chronicle Huffington Post Elle). Then in 2017, well, she is a celebrity (Femina NDTV Khaleej Times). Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 01:27, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
