 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep the article has been expanded and provided with additional references since nomination. In particular, I'd point out the text "West was named as one of Georgia Trend magazine's "Top 40 Under 40" in 2004, and was awarded Woman of the Year by Women in Technology in 2014." which seems to meet WP:BIO's "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times."

 * Delete as WP:TOOSOON. DGG hits the nail on the head. Most of the references are either press releases from her employer (GIT), trivial mentions, or from trade/web sources. With the exception of the Atlanta Business Chronicle article, there are no mainstream sources that discuss her. Likewise, her work has not been highly cited or noted outside of her institution. The argument for "keep" seems, so far, to be the two awards: Georgia Trend magazine's "Top 40 Under 40" and "Woman of the Year" by Women in Technology (WIT). The former helps somewhat, although it is neither a national-level award, nor a widely recognized award, but the latter is an award from a relatively obscure non-profit foundation, which does not lend any help to notability. I think West probably will satisfy WP criteria at some point in the future, but does not at present. Agricola44 (talk) 15:48, 9 April 2015 (UTC).

 * Delete, largely in agreement with Agricola's fair summary. This article reads largely like a CV cited to 'stuff on the internet'. No doubt she's an extremely competent engineer and CEO, but falls short of WP:GNG criteria. Sionk (talk) 13:35, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - Intelligently written promo article. Delete per nom. Educationtemple (talk) 20:57, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Local business association awards, local trade magazine puff pieces, press releases, and promotional material on her employer's web site don't add up to true notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:39, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
