The result was delete. The ‘keep’ !votes do not give any policy reasoning for keeping the article and consequently I place little weight on those. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 17:43, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Subject fails WP:NPROF and WP:ANYBIO. The article relies heavily on an article from The News & Advance, which is an interview and hence, not independent. The YouTube citation is self-published. Citations from the subject's employer are also not independent. The other citations are mere mentions so, without a claim of notability, the subject is just another of Mitzi's acquaintances where Mitzi failed to disclose her CoI.
