The result was keep. Most commenters believe there are adequate sources to pass WP:GNG, and I see no reason to disagree, the most recent comment notwithstanding. RL0919 (talk) 04:22, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

The business enterprise is trivial, and the awards are promotional, and do not show notability. An MBE is the lowest level, there is no limit to the number awarded, and is not considered at WP as a significant honour.

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Alex Depledge to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Keep -She meets WP:GNG. (I just added a ref from the Guardian, but IMO she already met (or exceeded) notability.) JSFarman (talk) 17:50, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Adequately sourced to establish wiki-notability. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 19:50, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment' People tellingtheir own life stories from their own POV do not show notability ; it's publicity, even if a major newspaper chooses to publish it. (Yes, I am saying that we have tto look at the content, not the name of the publication). The Independent story in particular is a PR job in the most classic of senses. If it shows notability , it's the notability of her PR firm in getting it placed.  DGG ( talk ) 01:26, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
