 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This is a relisting of the previous AfD, which was compromised by sockpuppetry. Nominator's Soman's rationale for deletion was lack of reliable, non-blog sources. Jéské ( v^_^v +2 Pen of Editing ) 07:29, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * (copypasted from old afd) Comment: to my count, there is currently 4 news sources; DNA, The Statesman and 2 Telegraph articles. The Statesman mentions that S.K. led a squad in West Bengal, but no bio info. says that she's a woman in her 20s from Andhra Pradesh.  says that she's a woman in her early 20s from Jharkhand.  goes into more details. One can suppose that all of the info originates from the Intelligence Branch (IB) of the West Bengal police. I find that there is a real problem of verifiablity here. Also, an open question is whether being a squad commander (leading tens of soldiers) is enough notability for a bio article. Could there be any confirmation of position inside the party? I'd say that being a state committee or central committee member would be a minimum for notability of a leader inside the party. --Soman (talk) 08:30, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I initially voted to delete but after seeing the "news" I am convinced that she is really notable because she is supposedly the first woman squadron leader of these rebel groups and seem to have a very important effect where she is operating. It qualifies as a stub now Taprobanus (talk) 16:40, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep While there isn't tons of press coverage, there is enough to suggest that she might be notable. Dgf32 (talk) 20:22, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep it has been adequately edited & sourced from the earlier BLP state. DGG (talk) 16:28, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Appears to meet the criteria for notability at WP:BIO, although I'm not familiar enough with the cited sources to know for certain whether they are reliable or not.  -- Dachannien TalkContrib 21:15, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
