There is no indication that Abushwesha meets Wikipedia's standards of notability, either WP:GNG or WP:NAUTHOR. The lead claims she won awards, but the body of the article doesn't provide sources for any awards, and Google News doesn't give any relevant results. Having a film she co-produced nominated for an award does not make her notable. No significant media coverage found via Google News either. Huon (talk) 01:42, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A somewhat promotional article (and for parts of its history very promotional) about a person without evidence of satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The references cited in the article are: three pages not mentioning Farah Abushwesha; one by her, not about her; a page at www.bbc.co.uk including a one-sentence mention of her appearance in a BBC programme; a list of nominations for awards (not actual awards) including a nomination for a film in which she took part, not for her personally, an IMDb page which merely includes her name in a list of credits; a dead link. In a Google search for information about her, the first hits were such things as this Wikipedia article; LinkedIn; the web site of an organisation that she founded and runs; an IMDb page, which merely gives a brief and highly promotional biography; a blog on blogspot; a page about her on the web site of a business for which she has run a "masterclass", and so on. In short, I have been unable to find any substantial coverage of her in any independent source anywhere. (Incidentally, Huon rightly says that the article doesn't provide sources for any awards, and it is worth adding that the article doesn't even name any award which it says she has received: just the vague "award winning" with no further details.)
