I would have thought that any presidential candidate could be notable, particularly a woman candidate in a country like Afghanistan. PatGallacher (talk) 01:24, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

She's definitely not a candidate for speedy deletion, that's for sure. The article could use expansion, though. Master of Puppets - _{Call me MoP! :D} 01:42, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That, alone, is not a claim of notability. There were over 1000 claimed presidential candidates in the United States in 2008, and probably over 400 who were actually on the ballot in some state. They're not all notable. Perhaps not speedy, but there is certainly not much of a claim of notability. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 01:50, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Afghanistan's only had one election previously, and having a woman lead the country would probably cause heart attacks in 1/3 of the populace. So it's not quite the same as American elections. :P I agree, though, it needs more sourcing; BLP1E and all. Master of Puppets - _{Call me MoP! :D} 03:04, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WRT to Fana's share of the popular vote...

Someone added that Fana got less than .5 % of the popular vote.

So, the top 3 candidates got 91.3 % of the vote, and the bottom 29 shared 8.68 % between them.

The top 7 candidates got 96 perecent of the vote. Fana shared 4 percent of the vote with 24 other candidates.

The initial Sabawoon voting results should be replaced with later, more definitive results. Geo Swan (talk) 04:00, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So? That wouldn't be relevant in an election where elections are common. You'd need to make a special case for this election for anything other than the statement that she was 8th with less than 0.5%. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 07:29, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I did the math because your addition surprised me. I found 0.5% a surprising number.

How relevant is it? I don't know. I thought other contributors who also wondered might benefit from the work I did generating those statistics.

I don't know what you mean about "making a case". I don't think I have to "make a case" to include rough work, relevant to the content of the article, on its talk page. Do you think I do? Geo Swan (talk) 15:45, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any reason to accumulate the votes. Less than 0.5% is correct, although the rank and a more precise count (if the count were reliable) would be reasonable. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 20:23, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
