 * Being a columnist for a major national newspaper is certainly a thing that should constitute sufficient notability in principle, though of course an article ultimately lives or dies on how much reliable source coverage can or cannot be found about her role as a columnist. I'm completely stymied by this, however — while she gets over 2,000 hits in ProQuest's Canadian Newsstand Major Dailies database, I can find almost none in which she's the subject, rather than the bylined author, of the content. The fact that the subject is a journalist does not and cannot confer an exemption from having to be the subject of media coverage — a journalist does not get a freebie just because readers of the paper know her name from her own bylines, if other journalists haven't published stuff about her journalism career by which we can properly verify the content. And I'm just not finding any of that. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 00:49, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as simply nothing at all convincing of solid notability. SwisterTwister   talk  03:57, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
