The article only exists because the subject is the daughter of Malcolm X and Betty Shabazz. There is no indication that she has ever done anything notable in her life.

The article is basically a mix of trivia, and one criminal incident where she was convicted of identity theft. The trivia is totally incidental to the actual subject: her mother and father, and fails WP:BASIC: "received significant coverage in multiple published sources".

The identity theft part seems to have been covered in many sources. But WP:1E applies here. I see nothing special in this incident to warrant an article.

Basically the article is a mixture of irrelevant trivia and a barely disguised attack article. Kingsindian ♝♚ 08:33, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This person is not independently notable, so per WP:BASIC they shouldn't have an article. Rcsprinter₁₂₃ (inform) 12:36, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, only "inherited" notability, therefore not sufficient; does not meet GNG guidelines. Kierzek (talk) 14:38, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Does not meet GNG guidelines. Somewhat of an attack page. Hlevy2 (talk) 17:21, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Her only claim to notability is her famous father. The mention of the trivial criminal conviction raises BLP concerns. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 00:05, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
