Fails WP:BASIC. Almost no coverage in any reliable sources. Fails WP:ANYBIO. Has not been nominated or won a well-known and significant award or honor; has not made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in her specific field.

 * Delete as I myself reviewed this at NPP and planned to nominate since it's questionable for any applicable notability. SwisterTwister   talk  23:00, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

 * This is based 75 per cent on her own self-published primary sources, and 25 per cent on a glancing namecheck of her existence in a listicle which isn't substantively about her. This is not the quality of sourcing it takes to get a person into Wikipedia, regardless of how credible their notability claim might be in principle (which is not to say that the notability claim here is very compelling or credible, because it's not.) As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which anybody in any field of endeavour becomes entitled to an article just because they exist, and people really need to stop treating it like that's what it's for — it's an encylopedia, on which reliable source coverage is the determinant of whether an article gets to happen or not.

 * Neutral. I found thousands of Ghits, but almost all of them are self-written, and since she blogs for the Huffington Post and tweets a lot, her essays get picked up on mirror sites. She has a few times in local news, and gets quoted by other bloggers. I'm not sure that's enough for us. Bearian (talk) 19:56, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - I'm seeing brief mentions and primary sources, but not enough to satisfy WP:BIO. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 20:42, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
