Keep[edit]

Mariam Saab is a presenter for ABC News 24 television. Her work there is publicly verifiable and available online. This was particularly notable during the Australian 2020 bushfire season.

Her previous work is also verifiable and available online through those organisations such as France 24.

She is also discussed on Twitter, particularly surrounding her catching fashion sense.

Mariam Saab is also the wife of Rami Khalife, a well known Franco-Lebanese composer and touring musician who has a Wikipedia profile.

She doesn’t have personal social media accounts and does not court personal media exposure, but her work is available online and she has featured in Marie Claire since relocating to Australia. Seangooodwin (talk) 10:07, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article issues[edit]

This article has several issues that needs addressing mostly specific to sourcing. An AFD was closed as no consensus, and the article was created after being declined at AFC for sourcing issues, so improvements could forestall a possible future nomination.

The over-use of primary sources like places she worked, (see Wikipedia:Identifying and using primary and secondary sources and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Misuse of primary sources, and those that are not independent (see Wikipedia:Identifying and using self-published sources) needs attention.

The use of twitter (user generated) is problematic. The marie claire source just shows a fashionable picture and does not support any close wording of the twitter used "unmitigated fabulousness" that is without attribution.

The multiple use of YouTube needs to be examined. Otr500 (talk) 04:06, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
