Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shireen Ahmed
I agree that the ''Sociology of Sport Journal'' reference has substantial discussion of Ahmed - and more information than is in the article, including the name of her blog (Footybedsheets), and where she has had articles published. I am unable to read the ''Griffith REVIEW'' or the ''Feminist Media Studies'' articles, so I can't see how much they have about her. An article in ''Canadian Journal of Women & the Law'', 'Minimizing and Denying Racial Violence: Insights from the Québec Mosque Shooting', discusses a radio program on which Ahmed was a guest, and her contribution to it http://web.b.ebscohost.com.rp.nla.gov.au/ehost/detail/detail?vid=0&sid=de413522-dfd7-4cdc-87ef-98675a337125%40pdc-v-sessmgr03&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZQ%3d%3d#AN=133623886&db=a9h. An article in ''USA TODAY'', 'Headgear ban derails hoops dream', quotes Ahmed and describes her as "a former University of Toronto soccer player and sports activist who has written about headgear bans for Vice.com" http://web.b.ebscohost.com.rp.nla.gov.au/ehost/detail/detail?vid=0&sid=84481aa5-a49c-4c19-9682-138f7594c4d7%40pdc-v-sessmgr01&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZQ%3d%3d#AN=J0E357166375515&db=a9h. An article in the ''Gazette'', Montreal, about a panel discussion she was on, to be held at Concordia University, gives the other name for her blog, Tales from a Hijabi Footballer, and explains how she got interested in writing about sport https://www.newspapers.com/image/427187549/?terms=%22Shireen%2BAhmed%22. This book on ''Women's Sports: What Everyone Needs to Know'' from Oxford University Press has a substantial paragraph summarising and quoting her views https://books.google.com.au/books?id=oWBmDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA118&dq=%22Shireen+Ahmed%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiCsNS5_57jAhVPFHIKHSBaB48Q6AEIMTAB#v=onepage&q=%22Shireen%20Ahmed%22&f=false. This ''New York Times'' article 'World Cup Reporters Find Huge Audiences and Familiar Challenges' has a para about her criticism of a global media company for "including a presenter with a history of sexist social media postings in its Women’s World Cup promotion video" and subsequent internet trolling of her https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/04/sports/soccer/world-cup-media.html?login=email&auth=login-email (it's also been published internationally, eg in the ''Irish Times'' https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/international/success-of-the-world-cup-marks-a-major-advance-for-women-s-football-1.3947958). I think there is just enough to meet , so Weak Keep, at least until someone can describe what the two other journals say about her - if substantial, then it would be just Keep
