It does not fall afoul of the meatpuppetry policy if the creator writes
the article independently and using their own wording to create an
appropriate article based on their own understanding and referencing to
reliable sources. For example, this one could fall into several topics:
Women and ISIS, biography of individual (although you'd have to show she
was notable for a reason other than her execution), ISIS executions, etc.
etc.
Perhaps a stupid question but why is the coverage of her execution not
enough for notability?
ISIS is executing people by the tens of thousands (many for reasons that
seem astonishingly petty to outsiders), so being executed by ISIS does not
confer notability in and of itself.
What would confer notability would be reporting about her *before* her
death, such as multiple significant references where she is a primary focus
of a report about (for example) women human rights activists in her native
country, or conferring of significant recognition such as a government or
significant NGO human rights award. In other words, she needs to be
notable *before* her death in order to cross the notability threshold. The
BLP1E threshold still applies.
(For those of you unfamiliar with the acronym, that means that a person
notable for only one event will not normally have a biographical article,
although some of the information (including the name of the individual) may
well be notable enough for inclusion in another article. Example: Names of
victims of mass murderers - their names might be included in the article
about the murderer. This is also known as the "Badlydrawnjeff" Arbcom
decision.)
I've deliberately not been following the articles related to this topic in
general, but I am quite certain, based on the significant reporting of this
specific event and its contextualization in the media reports (particularly
issues related to risks to educated women in Iraq), there's definitely a
place for this information on Wikipedia, either in an article about the
topic (identifying al-Nuaimi by name and event) or (if there is sufficient
information) in an article about herself.
