 * Keep sources already cited show GNG is met. I don't read this as an attack page on her, rather it seems to attack Iranian censorship and lack of civil liberties. buidhe 17:57, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep As I stated on the talk page, I read about Tabar on CNN.com back in October and was a little surprised there was no WP article, particularly when a news search revealed over 700,000 potential sources. Mimahoda had started an AfC draft, so I thought I'd run with that to see if we could develop a useful draft that would be accepted through that process. The article was considered acceptable by AfC reviewer Sulfurboy. It really isn't an attack page, but if someone thinks it unbalanced they are free to edit. Tabar seems to have become notable as an Instagram influencer even though her account was deleted; there are plenty of imitations or fan accounts as testimony to her notability. I'll allow each of you to judge for yourself whether the response of authorities makes the article more or less worthy of inclusion. I don't see an argument for deletion yet. Jack N.

 * Keep I typically stay neutral on articles I approve out of AfC, however this is such a strong keep I felt the need to vote. While the page might have some neutrality issues, its not enough to warrant a AfD much less a CSD. I don't see any sort of threat or attack on the page. All claims on the page are also backed by mostly reliable, secondary sources. More than enough coverage to pass WP:BIO and WP:GNG47.184.8.132 (talk) 01:37, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: There appears to be a trend toward keep here, but I will relist to give time for additional editors to participate.
 * Delete per WP:BLP1E and WP:NOTNEWS. She's only notable in the context of her arrest, and not only that, but her arrest only received attention due to her appearance. Almost all of the pre-October 2019 coverage of her comes from clickbait websites, tabloids, and Sputnik (which is considered generally unreliable). The only source I found which might be reliable is Newsweek, but Newsweek post-2013 is dubious and it's only one article. She's likely to remain a low-profile individual, since she's only widely known for being an Instagram user and her Instagram account has been deleted. And her arrest is not particularly significant. Arrests of Instagram models in Iran are not unusual. The BBC story cited in the article states that she is part of a "long list" of Iranian influencers who have faced legal trouble. Furthermore, there are potential BLP concerns, considering she is no longer a public figure. It would be inappropriate to maintain a permanent article about her just because she took weird pictures of herself when she was a teenager and she got arrested once.

 * Weak Keep However, I think the multiple news articles fulfill WP:BASIC: "multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." Idolmm (talk) 05:53, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep Sahar Tabar's story should be considered in the context of Forced Confessions in Iran countering female activists. Mimahoda (talk) 19:22, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - she sought and obtained fame, and the regime sought to punish her and two other women for having cosmetic surgery, resulting in a widely-reported court case. That's not merely news, but history. Bearian (talk) 10:46, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
