Scha Al-Yahya

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

fails WP:BIO and WP:ENT. no evidence of significant coverage nor multiple major roles. . Malay WP article doesn't reveal much either. LibStar (talk) 03:08, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

*Delete No indication of notability. --Vejvančický (talk) 16:28, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I crossed out my vote. Mkativerata is apparently more familiar with Malaysian pop culture, he did a better research and I believe, that the information could be useful. --Vejvančický (talk) 08:54, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. In my view there is sufficient coverage to show she is a prominent entertainment personality and has had significant roles in films (including award nominations), passing WP:GNG and WP:ENT: here, here and here. She hosts a TV show: here. She's also been in the press for an onscreen lesbian kiss: here.
 * 7 hits in gnews is not significant coverage. LibStar (talk) 01:23, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * AfD isn't a ghit counter. In addition to the articles mentioned above (many of which she is a subject of), she is the sole subject of this Malay-language interview/article in a major newspaper (Utusan): 1.
 * that is for WP:GOOGLEHITS using google. there is no evidence of significant in depth coverage of this individual per WP:GNG. some coverage does not make a person necessarily notable. LibStar (talk) 01:35, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I notice how you included the words "in depth" there. They don't appear in WP:GNG, although "in detail" does, but only as a factor relevant to significance, not a separate criterion. In any case, we have: (a) a lengthy article/interview in a national newspaper; (b) a lengthy news article about her alleged drunkenness; (c) an article in a national newspaper saying she will be hosting a new TV show and this article confirming it actually happened; and (d) an article about her onscreen lesbian kiss. How could this multi-faceted coverage not be significant? --Mkativerata (talk) 01:43, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * many of the 7 articles listed here are passing mentions rather than in depth coverage. 3rd point of WP:GNG clearly states The number and nature of reliable sources needed varies depending on the depth of coverage and quality of the sources LibStar (talk) 01:48, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Have you even read the articles I've put up - especially those in my most recent post? Read them. If you can convince me that they involve mere passing mentions, especially the ones where she is mentioned in the title and the article is all about her, I will stand corrected. --Mkativerata (talk) 01:55, 15 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep per notable there is notable here. Difficulty finding western coverage for a Malaysian actress is a reason to consider and translate the non-English sources, rather than throw it out.  I see Asia One speaking about ger best actress nomination, The Star speaking abouther hosting a show... and number of sources requiring translation.  Suggest help be requested of WP:WikiProject Malaysia and WP:WikiProject Countering systemic bias.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 02:41, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * still google news includes some Malay language newspapers. LibStar (talk) 02:57, 15 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. I see her mentioned as one of the hosts of the "popular dance show Sehati Berdansa", and a wikipedia that had any street cred in Malaysia would have a way to do a background check on a host of a popular show.  Edward Vielmetti (talk) 03:01, 15 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. Per earlier sources, plus story in the Malay Mail, opening with "The media circus of the widely reported romance between Fahrin Ahmad and Sharifah Nor Azean, or more popularly known as Scha Alyahya", showing that she's well known and that there are (non-English, possibly non-internet) sources we're not seeing.
