The result was delete. As my wife often reminds me, marriage confers many benefits and responsibilities -- but notability is not among them. If anyone would like me to reproduce the article in their userspace for the purpose of moving any notable bits to another article, please just ask.  A  Train talk 17:05, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Person fails WP:N. The coverage of the person is largely about their connection to Sebastian Gorka, who the person is married to. The academic or journalist work is not notable. Additionally, the page seems to have been likely created by Sebastian Gorka That being the case, if she does pass WP:N, the page should be blown up to avoid a clear COI and bias.

 * Delete Fails WP:N and also prior to some copyediting was pretty much just a promotional page for her rather than an encyclopedic entry. - SantiLak  (talk) 03:44, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment Katherine Gorka has received criticism for her own Islamophobic comments, as I raised on the talk page a few months ago but no one seemed to find it compelling enough to add. If that angle on the subject is deemed noteworthy and added to the article, then I'd call to keep. If it is left out, then there's not much remaining to support a biographical article.

 * Note That there has been news coverage of this page, including this reported story on CNN: Wikipedia user 'Sk-Gorka' edited info about WH aide Sebastian Gorka's gun charge .E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:46, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep There is sufficient real coverage of her, including these stories :, , , , to support notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:01, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete and merge As to the point of it being self-promotion or written by a person connected to her, we have long ago removed most of that material and kept only that which is supported by reliable sources. Nevertheless, I still largely agree that Katherine is only mentioned because of her marriage to Sebastian. If that's the case, and it seems to be, her bio should be merged into Sebastian Gorka.

 * Delete and merge per Jason above. Please copy across the edit I recently added citing a Politico piece profiling the Gorkas as a couple, if only for the fascinating info that their pillow-talk at night is about 'radical Islamist terrorism'. 86.160.26.167 (talk) 15:30, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Katharine has only been mentioned in a small number of routine news articles concerning her employment. She has received no in-depth coverage such as profile pieces. It is also clear that this page was created by a COI account for the purposes of promotion. AusLondonder (talk) 18:21, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nominator and above. Fails N on her own merits. There is enough on him that there is no need to merge. The coverage rarely separates her from him; with limited reporting of her past comments, but still with him as context. Her sparse, independent coverage largely appears to be on YouTube and C-SPAN.
