Draft:Shirin Ariff
| Submission declined on 25 April 2025 by CNMall41 (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

| Submission declined on 26 March 2025 by Sophisticatedevening (talk). This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format.

Comment: There are mentions of her and even some more in-depth references, but they are not from reliable sources. They look like mainly blogs. I did a quick WP:BEFORE and see she has written more than just the one book. Are you able to show reviews of these books? If so, she may qualify under WP:NAUTHORC3.
