WP:BLP of a local politician, not properly sourced as passing WP:NPOL #2. The notability claim here is that she's chief executive of a district, which is not an "inherently" notable role that guarantees a Wikipedia article -- politicians at the local level are notable only if you can write a genuinely substantive and well-sourced article that contextualizes their political significance, such as by addressing specific things they did in the job, specific effects they had on the development of the district, etc., and are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because you can minimally source the fact that they exist.

Delete lots of prose, but the sourcing is not there to support having an article on someone with this low level of political position.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:45, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I’m new and came here via the list of women-related deletion discussions. Still figuring out the policies and formatting, but I found quite a bit mentioning this person and her activities both in the Sagnarigu district and wider advocacy, particularly regarding the role of local government in climate and gender issues. I added some sources and expanded on some of her work. BLELicaN (talk) 14:28, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Needs some cleanup, but appears to meet GNG with sources on the subject. It's difficult to find sources for West Africa sometimes, but it appears there is enough here for a page. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 15:14, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: With the recent additions and sources, meets basic notability requirements.--Ipigott (talk) 09:21, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
