Mehr Tarar

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Does not meet any WP:Notability standard. She had an online run-in with a minor celebrity. Her name should be mentioned in the Sashi Tharoor and Sunanda Pushkar arcticles. But she should not have an article herself. — Bill W. (Talk) (Contrib) — 12:39, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Shashi Tharoor is not 'minor' celebrity. The affair or whatever with this lady and subsequent death of his wife is going to have impact on his political career. Hence subject meets WP:LASTING for notability. Abhi (talk) 14:12, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete without prejudice to revisiting the subject once more can be said about its lasting results/effects; merge/move usable information into Sashi Tharoor and Sunanda Pushkar if possible or very weak move (and adapt) to an article about the affair/scandal/what will you.

Both Sashi Tharoor and Sunanda Pushkar are notable. Mehr Tarar currently is not; she falls square into the category WP:1E and/or WP:BLP1E as person notable for one event, for an event that is in my opinion borderline-notable.

Said event might qualify for an article of its own, but would in my opinion currently still run afoul of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:SENSATION as I believe no lasting effect has yet been proven or made likely; that is to say, it will likely have some effect but it cannot yet be said if this will be lasting or of a notable degree. It may have an impact on his (Shashi Tharoor's) political career, but I believe it is too soon to say so for sure; and even then it would to a degree depend on how much of an impact to decide whether or not a separate article is justified; so long as the event itself is not yet notable enough for an article, someone known solely for their part in that event will almost certainly not be either. Not quite every event that is notable enough to mention on the article of a notable person for its impact on them is also notable enough for an article of its own.

That does not mean the event is automatically non-notable, but neither is it automatically notable, and I believe that for sensitive events involving living (or recently dead) people, it is better to be cautious.

Note: I may count as involved to some degree by means of the article's creator seeking my opinion on whether or not the subject warranted having its own article well before the creation of this AfD. See here. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 15:11, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Just a tweet to celeb will not qualify her for a Wikipedia article! Shobhit Gosain ^Talk 17:22, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for now - this is a poor time for this article to be up for AFD, with the story of Sunanda Pushkar's death still developing. That means there's a lot of media coverage about her at the moment, but it's too early to tell if she'll demonstrate any lasting notability. I'd say we should keep this article for the time being, and reconsider it for deletion in a few weeks if it becomes clear there's nothing more to say about her and she's just a WP:BLP1E.

Delete – a single tweet does not equal notabililty. Epicgenius (talk) 23:20, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- This page seems to be the one for describing a twitter controversy , which is just evolving. The person does not qualify to be in notable article list , based on some twitter wars. Zee$han... 04:36, 19 January 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zeeshankm (talk • contribs)
Delete -- the subject isnt really notable even in Pakistan and is a sham 'journalist'. There are too many such articles about so-called media/journalistic persons from Pakistan which in my view need to be thoroughly checked and pruned and a large number deleted. User:Hilda Khan
Delete – She doesn't qualify Notability. Doesn't even have a single Creative Commons image of her which I could find.. poloolop
