This page was nominated at the subject's request. Ruby Hamad is a "not particularly well-known" journalist in Australia. She expressed to me (via Facebook) that she believes the page was created purely as a form of trolling, and the history of the page does indicate a lot of unsourced negative commentary (since removed). My own research does tend to support the idea that she is not sufficiently notable to have her own page. Most of the references are to the journalist's own work and not to any 3rd party source.

Delete Based on the included references this page doesn't seem to meet the notability criteria set out in Wikipedia:BASIC or Wikipedia:AUTHOR, almost all of the references that are not dead links being links to non-Wikipedia articles by Ruby Hamad herself.

Delete a non-notable journalist. We really need to pub more stringent rules on article creation.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:58, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Agree with Daneark this page doesn't seem to meet the notability criteria set out in Wikipedia:BASIC or Wikipedia:AUTHOR - but would also add Wikipedia:NACADEMIC. Tastyworm (talk) 09:47, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. WP:AUTHOR. Her book White Tears/Brown Scars has been widely reviewed. egs. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. duffbeerforme (talk) 03:17, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Which of the criteria in Wikipedia:AUTHOR do you feel she meets? I can't see any mention of that book at all on her wikipedia page which seems like a strange omission given how much reading must have been done for the personal life section, now heavily cut down. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daneark (talk • contribs) 17:08, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The subject of the article, as an articulate and forthright woman of Syrian origins, has been subjected to a series of relentless on line attacks of which this article was one. It is not research, it is a form of cyberstalking that does nothing for wikipedias reputation. She wants it gone.
