Draft:Salma Niazi
Submission declined on 2 July 2024 by Timtrent (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. I want Niazi to pass WP:BIO. Emotionally I feel she should have an article about here. I regret that this article is not yet it. You have shown her as a woman trying to do what she can against a discriminatory and dictatorial regime, but that makes her one among many.
Show us referencing that proves her notability, please.

Salma Niazi (born 2001) is an Afghan journalist and the founder of The Afghan Times, an all-women news outlet that focuses on human rights and women's issues in Afghanistan. Fleeing from the Taliban's, she continues her journalistic endeavors in exile.[1][2]
Early Life and Education[edit]
Salma Niazi was born in a village in Laghman Province, Afghanistan. By the age of 16, she was the only female journalist in her province, advocating for women's representation in the media.[1][3]
Career[edit]
Niazi began her journalism career as a teenager. She worked in local radio, becoming a prominent voice for Afghan women's rights. Her work included reporting on issues such as gender discrimination, education, and women's roles in society.[4]
Founding The Afghan Times[edit]
In 2021, after the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan, Niazi fled to Pakistan to escape increasing restrictions and threats against female journalists. Determined to continue her advocacy for women's rights, she founded The Afghan Times in August 2021. The online platform, run entirely by women, provides news in both Pashto and English.[5][6]
