I cleaned up the article, and went through the list of non-inline sources, moving them to inline. Once that was done, though, there just isn't very much here. No evidence of notability. The only RS I can find is her name as one of multiple writers on a story when she was at the Hartford Courant. Can't find evidence of her work for most of the media outlets named in the story. Most of the achievements and awards source back to bios she's submitted for conferences and the like. BubbaJoe123456 (talk) 15:38, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

 * This page should not be deleted. There were changes made about her notability as a historian and a scholar. And there were citations for her work via the internet. The original Wikipedia page as of August 5, 2019 should be restored.
 * Here are the citations for the Washington Post,(https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/therootdc/post/paul-ryan-and-the-scary-future-of-public-education-in-america/2012/08/30/a981ae0c-f2ad-11e1-a612-3cfc842a6d89_blog.html)

 * People magazine (https://people.com/archive/an-american-original-vol-60-no-2/)
 * It should also be noted that she was the first to have founded a nonpartisan, nonprofit hyper-local news publication in 2004: The Hartford Guardian.
 * The television news outlets do not have citations of work history. The best way to verify whether she worked for CT News12, NBC4 New York and FOX News is to call the stations' HR department and verify the work history.
 * She is also a historian. She is the first, in 2010, to publish work based on serious scholarship on the social history that covers the entire arc of blacks in Connecticut from the colonial period to the twentieth century. She is also the first Hartford-based scholar to cover the full arch of black education in Connecticut, which focuses on Sheff v. O'Neill. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:185:302:850:412b:5b08:a111:11a7 (talk) 21:52, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately Wikipedia needs reliable sources about the subject of an article, not by her (more info here -> WP:RS). Additionally, calling TV outlets is original research, which is not allowed. --Spacepine (talk) 01:51, 7 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete - per nom. --Spacepine (talk) 01:51, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - I see nothing in this article that discusses her or shows enough notability to overcome the threshold for inclusion that is WP:GNG, her work at various outlets does nothing to help her achieve notability either. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 04:30, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. Sources insufficient, unconvincing claim to notability (founding of The Hartford Guardian), SPA-created and nurtured by a whole bunch of anon IPs that geolocate back to the subject's city, ORPHAN, mostly OR (tons of citation needed tags), the WP article for Hartford Guardian is currently under PROD, etc. Not a controversial case.

 * Comment: I just wanted to note that I undid a double vote by this IP that also removed everyone else's comments and the nomination. Praxidicae (talk) 17:52, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
