The result was speedy Withdrawn. I think being the former Dean establishes WP:PROF and there's sourcing to verify. Thanks @ImTheIP: StarM 02:14, 24 January 2021 (UTC) StarM 02:14, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot find significant, independent sources to provide evidence that she's notable as an activist, author, journalist or professor. Note yes, there are plenty of hits, mostly her own byline, which makes a search a little complicated. StarM 19:13, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The article obviously needs a lot of work, but she is a fairly well-known scholar. Interviews: [1], [2], [3], [4]. I added some of her published works to the article. ImTheIP (talk) 19:58, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm pretty sure interviews with the subject don't count toward secondary coverage for PROF/BIO, but may be wrong. StarM 01:16, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • WP:HEY. I've updated the article significantly. I believe she passes WP:NPROF criteria 6 due to her work at Birzeit (only top uni in Palestine) and criteria 7 due to her activism. ImTheIP (talk) 17:18, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I have not reviewed the sources, but there is a lot of press about women being underrepresented in our encyclopedia (per Wikipedia:WikiProject Women only 17% of biographies are about women), so I would advocate erring on the side of inclusion if the sources review is on the margin.

  • Reply all for that as well, especially in non-English speaking countries but 2 appears to be an org with which she's affiliated and 1/3 don't appear at all to be a reliable source leaving only 4, which is also still an interview. StarM 01:57, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Week Delete One independent source is not enough to establish WP:GNG also as the all of the source partisan we cannot truly write a WP:NPOV article .--Shrike (talk) 07:49, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The correct way of addressing systemic bias against women is to go out of our way to identify notable women and write well-sourced articles about them. Applying lower criteria to bios of women than what we use for men is not the way to go. --Randykitty (talk) 08:52, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep ImTheIP's additional sources establish GNG, particularly the interviews and biographies in Frontline (magazine), Palestinian Academic Society for the Study of International Affairs and The Guardian. Plus the fact that she is one of the most senior academics at Palestine's most prestigious university, and founded both their Institute of Women’s Studies and their doctoral programme in social sciences.
