 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Journalist who doesn't appear to have garnered any recognition beyond bylines on articles that she's written. I don't see any evidence that the subject meets WP:GNG. While searching online, I found this article which would allege that she was nominated for, but did not win, an award. According to a Google Scholar search, McKenna's h-index appears to be about 3, and that's only if you include citations for articles that she wrote in mass media publications (i.e. not scientific papers), which is far short of WP:NACADEMIC. signed,Rosguill talk 22:51, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I wrote this article because I felt that she was pretty influential in the corporate accounting world. I would be willing to better the article, but I certainly feel that she is relevant enough for Wikipedia's standards as I read them.  Mailman9  (talk) 00:59, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete There is no significant independent coverage of her and I see nothing that shows notability as a reporter or professor.Sandals1 (talk) 22:17, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep She has received recognition - she is quoted as a consultant and expert, and her blog recommended, in several textbooks, and many newspaper articles, about business and corporate ethics. She meets WP:AUTHOR #1: "is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors". I have added some references (including a quote from one textbook that her blog "should be on every corporate accountant and CPAs watchlist"), and will try to add more. I am somewhat hampered by Google books not showing all pages around references, and also in trying to work out what the issues are that she reported on, that these sources are referencing her about (eg involving Lehman Brothers, Ernst & Young, AIG, etc).
