Sahar Daftary
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Fails WP:ENTERTAINER. The first AfD was filed around the time of Daftary's death, which at that moment was receiving extensive news coverage, primarily because of manner of her death, leading to a belief that she was notable. The AfD was closed as Keep, but at the subsequent DRV it was established that No consensus was a more appropriate closure.

Looking at the coverage again, it is limited to no more than 10 days, detailing once again the death/manner of death rather than the person. Subsequent coverage is negligible. The only noted achievement was winning a contest titled Face of Asia in 2007, although the contest itself is non-notable. The article is an obvious case of WP:NOT, WP:NOT.

 * Delete I agree with nom. One event. Not notable as a biography. ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:30, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per my earlier keep decision. nothing has changed since that would made me atleast change my mind.--Judo112 (talk) 14:26, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per the above and the fact that she had reached notability before her death.--MarkusBJoke (talk) 14:32, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you provide evidence of such notability? Leave  Sleaves  14:35, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * This has already been discussed in the first nomination process and the evidence has been provided both there and in the article itself. The discussion led to a Keep and should stay so. And as you where very mutch involved in tha discussion i guess you should know.--MarkusBJoke (talk) 20:12, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * In the first AfD and in the article, the only notable work by Daftary prior to her death is said to be her win of Face of Asia competition. The competition is held during a festival by Asian community in UK. If you seek notability of the said competition, the only coverage received is through Daftary's death. If you seek the notability of the festival that includes this competition, you find nothing. Then how is it that a non-notable competition part of a non-notable festival be considered as the one justifying the notability of this person? And as of the Keep closure, have you read the subsequent DRV? There it was quite clear opinion of multiple editors, including the admin who closed the first AfD, that No consensus would have been a proper closure. Leave  Sleaves  21:16, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. The coverage in the two sources listed, though slight, is non-trival enough for the subject to pass the general notability guideline. If wp:BIO1E is the problem, then rename the article to Death of Sahar Daftary and write about the event. Deletion is not required here to deal with the policy issues.
