Subject is an inspirational speaker and former charter school teacher who self-published a book about rising from homelessness. While inspirational, she does not seem to meet the WP:GNG. All sources in the article are dead (though archived), and there's little else available that I'm seeing. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 21:12, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I've incorporated information from a 2007 Today article, which is definitely the best source in the article, but I don't think this is sufficient coverage to meet the GNG. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 21:50, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. Transitioning from homelessness to being a respected teacher is truly admirable but is not enough to pass WP:GNG. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:26, 27 July 2023 (UTC).
 * Delete The articles from Today and 3TV are of the "human interest story" variety, not what I would consider to be researched information sources. My gut tells me that they did not do any investigating and took the story from her. The sources from Grand Canyon U are not independent (she was working there at the time). The book was indeed self-published and does not appear to have been picked up by libraries (a measure of how far the book has not reached). Today I can find only self-promotional sites online (her web site, linkedIn, etc.). Lamona (talk) 03:59, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. The editing history suggests this could be a vanity page. 128.252.55.251 (talk) 19:44, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
