- Delete Her stated notability seems to be inherited from her husband. Not sure why this is listed at WP:CRIC / SPORT and not the relevant politics project, as she does not seem to have played cricket herself. Spike 'em ( talk) 13:25, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

- Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles for standing as candidates in elections they did not win — the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one. But this makes no other claim of preexisting notability that would have gotten her into Wikipedia either (who she happens to be married to is not a notability claim either), and cites nowhere close to enough reliable source coverage to make her candidacy somehow much more special than the norm.

- Delete. Pretty much per nom. Azad is an unelected politician and inherited notability from her husband (one of the sources on the article is to a biography of him and it is repeated twice that he is a politican and she is married to him).
