The result was delete. per WP:BLP. If anyone wants to take on the task of moving this article to a new home and then reformatting the content to cover the event, not the person, contact me on my talk page and I will undelete, draftify and blank so that can be worked on. But for now, we can't let this sit in articlespace in the hope that this will eventually happen. Daniel (talk) 23:22, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Being chair of the board of a community college is not an automatic notability freebie in and of itself, but the article is not making a particularly strong case that she could be seen as significantly more notable than the norm for this level of significance. On a check of the footnotes, I'm seeing a considerable number of primary sources and/or blogs that are not support for notability at all, as well as a considerable number of glancing namechecks of her existence in coverage of other things or people — there are very few footnotes that are actually contributing toward getting her over WP:GNG by being substantively about her, and that's not enough.

 * Comment This is really an article about the controversy about the administration and funding of the College of DuPage that has been shoe-horned into a biography format. That controversy does seem to be notable, based on the newspaper reports, but I'm not sure whether it would be better for it to have a stand-alone article or to be merged into College of DuPage?

 * Keep - Well, this seems like a WP:BIO1E violation. I agree with Furius that this should probably be about the DuPage trustee controversy, although I do think the coverage of Kathy Hamilton is sufficient to meet GNG. Most likely a new article should be created about the controversy and this should be a Merge and Redirect situation. Strange that the College of DuPage article doesn't mention Kathy Hamilton, and has much less discussion of the controversy in general. Suriname0 (talk) 14:16, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete being chair of the board of a community college never is a sign of notability. She may merit passing mention on the page on the community college, but does not merit her own article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:11, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
