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.
