Multiple issues listed for >1 year. No real indication of notability. Was apparently listed as one of the "500 Most Influential Muslims in the World" in 2009, though the position on the list (and the notability of the list) are not stated. This Wikipedia article contains more info about that list than it does about her. No indication that she passes WP:AUTHOR. Bueller 007 (talk) 22:26, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep. The subject probably has some notability from political activities of about ten years ago, as a campaigner for Guyanese of Indian descent. However, reliable sources for this would probably be largely Guyanese and offline. But her main claim to notability is almost certainly for her novelsr which, although published in Britain and getting some international attention, seem most definitely notable in Guyana - I have found some apparently reliable Guyanese references and added them to the article but, from other experience, would expect there to be rather more offline. So, to avoid systemic bias, even if the references I have managed to add are still slightly fewer than we might wish, I think we can assume notability on the basis of what we have.
