Falls short of
WP:BIO. Only sources are either very brief mentions in passing or from affiliated organisations.

Note This interview with an academic Centre at
Georgetown University does not fit Nom's assertion that "Only sources are either very brief mentions in passing or from affiliated organisations."

Those interviews are awfully random. This is the
full list, and the vast majority of people on it are just random ordinary people they've decided to interview in that specific area: at a glance, none of them stand out as obviously notable, and the vast majority of them absolutely marginal at best. I don't think there's anyone on that list that wouldn't at least be nominated for AfD if an article were created.

Drover's Wife, It is really not useful to make sweeping assertions of this sort. I only had to eyeball the page to see that your first assertion was inaccurate. I only had to eyeball the list you linked to (starting at the bottom) to spot the name of a man
Saad Eddin Ibrahim who I knew should have a Wikipedia article. (I checked no other names on the list) All that I am asking you to do is to slow down, and limit your assertions to what you know you can source. I also sometimes make mistaken assertions here at AFD. If called on one, I admit it. At this point, I still know nothing about Helen Sworn. But you certainly have piqued my interest. Is this another article written by that editor who put up a raft of articles on Christianity-related topics that have been up recently at AFD? I never did go back to see precisely what that editor had done merit such hated. Was he a sock? I'd appreciate the 10 second version, if you have 10 seconds.

He was a major ideologue with a creepy obsession with sex trafficking, and a tendency to write articles on every random person who had ever crossed paths with some model he was obsessed with who was interested in it. This is one of them. I'm glad you found someone on that list who was notable, but my point stands: being selected on a vast list of nearly all non-notable people is not indicative of notability, even if all of one of them happens to be notable, and this article fails
WP:BIO dismally.

Oh, dear. Thanks, I guess. I suppose it's not surprising that an open platform like Wikipedia attracts the occassional creepy sex guy.

Redirect and Merge to
Chab Dai the organization Sworn founded. There are long, substantive interviews on Sworn's admirable work ( I added one from the
Cape Argus. What is lacking are sources on her bio. So, redirect to a sourced paragraph about her as founder in the article:
Chab Dai.

Merge and redirect to
Chab Dai -- I do not think that she and her organisation are sufficiently independent of each other to need two articles, However worthy the cause.

This link isn't working for me, so the only significant independent coverage in RSs that I see mentioned are the film interview.
