 * Keep - A published author who easily meets WP:GNG. See, for example, cio.com.au, palestineherald.com, bonappetit.com, npr.org, nytimes.com (2004), and nytimes.com (2010). And that's what I found with just a couple of quick Google searches. Sure, the article could use some work, but that's not the point of AFD. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 05:05, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I did see those sources but they didn't convince me that she meets either the GNG or WP:AUTHOR. cio.com.au quotes her and doesn't discuss her.  The palestine herald source has a little more, but it's essentially reporting her views and not discussing her as a person.  The bon appetit article is an interview by another blogger; it's not from the magazine.  The NPR thing is also essentially a quote, not about her.  The 2004 NYT article quotes her in passing.  The 2010 NYT thing duplicates the NPR thing.  These are not reviews of her work, they're not discussions of her blog, they're routine mentions.&mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 10:23, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Those were just a half-dozen easily-found examples. Here's some more: How about a book review in the Seattle PI? A mention on webpronews.com? Got Highbeam? There, I found a 2006 interview on NPR (not the same one as before), and mentions in the Boston Globe, the San José Mercury News, and the Washington Post. This Intel press release referred to her as an Intel advisor and industry influencer. Add that all up, and I think we've established notability. And btw, when a reliable source has a blog, that blog tends to be considered a reliable source as well—so I think that the interview with Bon Appetit is absolutely useful.
