Notability concerns. The references here don't suggest GNG is met, and on Google search I merely find articles she has written. Based on the longer bio at her website, I don't believe either WP:NAUTHOR or WP:NPROF is met. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 21:17, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Subject has over 50 awards, distinctions and is a published reporter with NBC.

Strongly feel WP:NAUTHOR or WP:NPROF is met. Thaoworra (talk) 02:20, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete That huge wall of text makes it hard for me to deal with and some/most of it proves nothing (I'm nowhere close to notable and I can say I've been a Middle School keynote speaker and been a paid contributor to a 2 major US city newspapers' websites). Looking at WP:NPROF I think she clearly doesn't meet criterias 2-3 or 4-9. I don't think 1 is met because no secondary sources and keynotes don't prove 4. For WP:NAUTHOR I think her best claim is 1 and again see no sourcing. This subject seems to be good at promotion and so while not notable now would not be surprised if she becomes notable in the future. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 02:38, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete because there are no secondary sources at all and because none of the mentioned awards (is being a keynote speaker an award? is being nominated for a prize an award?) seems to grant notability. Unless she is the winner of an international or at least national prize awarded by a prestigious institution and the event generated sufficient media coverage, I think there is no notability here. Nevertheless, I encourage the editors to make a good search and try to save the article. Gianvito Scaringi (talk) 18:25, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
 * One this page was first created (full of copyright issues) and again when it was nominated here I spent some time exploring notability. Others might find more/different things than I did but I did make a good faith search. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 19:19, 25 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete none of the awards are of the type that give notability. No sign she is at all a notable academic.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:16, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
