The cited sources are: (1) the self-published Genealogical Gleanings of the Indian Princely States, which doesn't mention Gole Afroz by name, but says in passing that her mother "named it [a college] after her oldest daughter", and (2) a publication of uncertain nature, probably published by Gole Afroz College. There is no clear way to verify the second source, but based upon how it has been used, it does not seem to contain significant coverage of her. Searches of the usual types, in English and Bengali, found no sources other than the college website, which says little more than it is named after her.[1]

Per WP:WHYN, "If only a few sentences could be written and supported by sources about the subject, that subject does not qualify for a separate page, but should instead be merged into an article about a larger topic or relevant list." There are already two sentences about her in each of Gole Afroz College and Singranatore family. There is nothing more to merge, and not enough information about her to stand on its own.

??? --Worldbruce (talk) 21:10, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the mere fact she is/was a member of a royal family makes her notable by default. See Wikipedia:ROYALTY for more information. SalamAlayka (talk) 21:51, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for elaborating. Calling her "royalty" is a stretch. Her grandfather was the third and last zamindar (often translated as landlord or landowner) of Natore, a position abolished in 1950, when she was 3 years old. The family was certainly wealthy and influential, but more analogous to landed gentry than a royal family. Whatever she or her grandfather was, the link you provided is merely to a WikiProject, it doesn't lead to any guideline regarding notability. It is well established that notability is not inherited. She is not notable just because her family is. There needs to be significant coverage of her in independent, reliable sources. Without that, it is better to describe her in the article about the family. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:51, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- She is not notable, meets zero guidelines when it comes to notability. Does not have the required in-depth coverage in reliable sources. I am okay with the article being Redirected to her family page.Vinegarymass911 (talk) 05:15, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete I spent 30 odd minutes trying to find sources that covers the subject, and nada. Not a single source that covers her significantly. 99% of them are regarding the school and her ancestral roots. There's no significant coverage on "her." IMO, the subject is not notable enough for a standalone article. Info about her can be merged into the school's page. Tame (talk) 18:02, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
