@User:CNMall41, she is a clear acceptance of WP:POLITICIAN given that she was an elected member of Afghanistan’s legislative body or legislature on a national level. That body was dissolved in 2021 by the Taliban, but at the time that she was elected, her status was the same as a congresswoman in the United States.

You have added content (several times) that does not match what is in the sources. This gives the impression you may know the subject. Can you please read WP:COI and WP:PAID and disclose any connection if applicable. For notability, can you provide a reliable source that verifies the position?--CNMall41 (talk) 08:52, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don’t know the subject. The sources were obtained from simple Google search. You can have this source [1] that explains what was the election that she won and lots of other sources like this one [2] which cover her career. I am just doing WP:BEFORE and getting all sources available, but for some reason that I can’t understand, you seem to not like any of the sources that I get and claim that I am doing original research when the sources clearly say the same thing as the content that I’m writing.

You added "While in office, she worked towards improving conditions in Afghan prisons" based on this reference, no where within does it say she worked towards improving...... It is a quote of her saying, "Numerous shortcomings exist in prisons. Relations between prison personnel and prisoners are very bad." Tell me what I am missing as it looks like you created original research. As far as knowing the subject, I am not asking if you know here. I am asking if you have a conflict of interest with editing as it relates to COI or PAID. --CNMall41 (talk) 09:02, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My edits are all volunteered. WP:AGF please. I just happen to have very a strong opinion on what the Taliban did to erase history of women lawmakers in Afghanistan, and by the looks of it, it seems it’s working… Contributor892z (talk) 09:12, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am assuming good faith. I asked a question which was prompted based on your editing. No accusation was made. I am curious about the original research statement I made above. Can you tell me if I am seeing things wrong? You say you made an edit based on the sources. I do not see this as accurate. --CNMall41 (talk) 09:30, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
For example, you don’t need any original research to read this source [3] and confirm that she was a journalist prior to taking office and she wrote a report circulated by the BBC on human trafficking in Afghanistan, but you seem to think otherwise. And also, it is obvious from [4] that she was a lawmaker in Afghanistan part of a parliamentary delegation visiting prisons, but somehow you don’t agree. Also, the use of primary sources like this one [5] is not a violation of Wiki policies if it’s to talk about clear statements of fact. Contributor892z (talk) 13:19, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You did not answer my question which is concerning. I also see this which now makes my suspicion of COI even stronger. I don't think I will be able to assist you at this point. --CNMall41 (talk) 00:20, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
