Résumé-like WP:BLP of a mid-market local television journalist, not properly referenced as passing our notability criteria for journalists. As always, local television journalists are not "inherently" notable just because a staff profile on the self-published website of their own employer technically verifies that they exist -- they have to be the subject of substantial coverage in sources other than their own employers. But three of the four footnotes here come from her own employer, and the only one that comes from another media outlet is just a human interest interview in which she's answering personal questions about her own perspective in Q&A format, which is not a GNG-assisting source as it represents her speaking about herself rather than being spoken or written about by other people. There's a claim here that she won a regional Emmy for her journalism, which would be a legitimate notability claim if the article were referenced properly, but is not "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to have more than just directly affiliated primary sourcing.

 * Comment unsure if the Emmy makes her notable. I had hope for this article but I think it's a different person. Oaktree b (talk) 20:54, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, I tried to find a citation for the Emmy and was not able to find any details/news articles for it. DaffodilOcean (talk) 00:11, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete On air personality for a TV station serving a small metro area (~150K population). I can find no independent sources. Lamona (talk) 18:05, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete this article was apparently created and edited solely by a banned user (sock) so it is eligible for WP:G5, but since the AfD was created I'll comment here. Even if the subject is notable it's probably easiest to just delete the article and have a valid user create it. -SpuriousQ (talk) 22:15, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
