POV

I detect some pov-pushing in relation to this article, particularly problematic as she is a candidate for public office. PatGallacher (talk) 23:46, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLPSPS states; "Never use self-published sources – including but not limited to books, zines, websites, blogs, and tweets – as sources of material about a living person, unless written or published by the subject (see below). "Self-published blogs" in this context refers to personal and group blogs. Some news organizations host online columns that they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professionals and the blog is subject to the newspaper's full editorial control. Posts left by readers are never acceptable as sources.".

The self-published sources added by the WP:SPA all appear to fail WP:RS: The sources about expenses from a personal blog and a non-neutral opposition party website fail WP:V, as well as this one (also from a blog) regarding the election court ruling, therefore these should all be removed. In this source, there is no mention of the claim that the subject's husband is a member of Islamic Forum of Europe therefore this should also be removed as per WP:SYNTH.

Protected

I have temporarily fully protected the page, y'all have three days to sort out whatever mess this edit war is over, keeping in mind WP:BLP and WP:RS. --kelapstick^(bainuu) 11:26, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notability?

Does this person meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines? The highest office achieved is borough councilor - there are 10s of thousands of them across the Uk Cantab12 (talk) 17:51, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is a lot of self promotion going on by the agents of minuscule politicians in Tower Hamlets (who typically come from the 'independent' faction at the council which has been harshly condemned for endemic corruption); I think these political self-promotion examples are neither neutral nor notable should all be deleted.Aetheling1125 19:29, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

This seems to be the recreation of an article after a decision to delete. I don't know how to track down the previous discussion. Anyone know? Ian McDonald (talk) 23:01, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have made some changes to remove utterly superfluous dross but I think this article ought to be (re)nominated for deletion. Rabina Khan has not received significant coverage in national newspapers.Aetheling1125 17:22, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

If you took the time to check all the sources in the article, then you would know that the very first one on the page is a national newspaper (there is a big clue in its title, The National). The subject has also been featured on BBC News. She has also received significant coverage in other reliable sources including The Muslim News and East London Advertiser for her European Diversity Award win. Tanbircdq (talk) 22:25, 17 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The National is not a national paper in England (in which Tower Hamlets are still currently a part of!), it is not! -- Urquhartnite (talk) 01:07, 23 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Child names

Hi Tanbircdq. It is the WP:BLPNAME bit "is relevant to a reader's complete understanding of the subject" that leads me to believe child names should not be included. I cannot see how knowing her children's names leads to any significantly better understanding of Rabina Khan, so their privacy IMO should be respected. In more context the policy statement is "The presumption in favor of privacy is strong in the case of family members .... names of any immediate ... family members ... subject to editorial discretion that such information is relevant to a reader's complete understanding of the subject." So I think they should be removed. IMO just because they are in a good cite is not enough. Rwendland (talk) 14:33, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
