trivial awards, and a relentlessly promotional article. I strongly doubt notability, but I have no doubt about the self-advertising. Read the lede paragraph. Forbes List of 100 leaders worldwide would be significant, Forbes list of 100 Indian leaders would probably be significant;  Forbes list of 100 leaders in the UAE would conceivably be  significant; but Forbes list of 100 Indian leaders in the UAE?

The article continues in similar detail. She lists a single meeting with the Minister of Culture as significant.

The references are almost entirely mere notices of her awards combined with PR. Not a single internationally recognized reliable source.  DGG ( talk ) 18:14, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep (weak) promo article on a non notable subject of some local importance who appears to be recognised for lifetime contributions, per sources presented by North America. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:34, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep and tag for advertising. Even with the (potentially accidental) weasel wording, overall the article is well sourced with inline references and has some good claims for notability. Most of the awards do seem trivial, though I can't help but note that Economic Times named her one of their "20 most influential global Indian women" in 2015, which I find impressive. That combined with some of the other sources currently on the page, and I believe she passes WP:GNG. Yvarta (talk) 16:16, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep – The subject passes WP:BASIC per a review of available sources. Source examples include, but are not limited to:, , , , . Minor promotional tone can be addressed by copy editing the article. North America1000 00:20, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - Agree with Northamerica1000 about article passing WP:BASIC via available sources. Aust331 (talk) 09:36, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - ditto WP:BASIC. Agree that the tone could be improved. It rather looks like someone has tried too hard to justify this article with all the awards. Derek Andrews (talk) 10:22, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - WP:BASIC. She has achieved something (collectively with all the recognition) and has got media coverage. Agreed, the tone can be less promo.(&#91;&#91;User:Kiranbramakrishna&#124;Kiranbramakrishna&#93;&#93;&#38;#124&#91;&#91;User talk:Kiranbramakrishna&#124;t&#93;&#93; )(&#91;&#91;User:Kiranbramakrishna&#124;COI&#93;&#93;) (talk) 11:33, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
