No, not the First Lady. Poorly sourced WP:BLP, relying almost entirely on filmography databases like IMDb which don't count as reliable sourcing for an encyclopedia article, of a person notable primarily as a local television news anchor. The only source that passes muster here is covering her in the context of having taken an acting role in a play after her stint on the news show ended (and she isn't even that actual subject of that source, but is merely mentioned in an article whose main subject is the playwright). And notability is not inherited, so the fact that her father, sister and brother have encyclopedia articles isn't a notability freebie either. As written, this article fails to get her over either WP:JOURNALIST or WP:GNG — which means it's a delete. Bearcat (talk) 06:56, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Weak keep: She's covered extensively in Steve Murphy's book Live At 5: The Story Behind Its Success (ISBN: 1551094126) and there are a number of articles about her in the Chronicle Herald archives. I also found this article in the King's Journalism Review. I suspect there may be more about her in offline sources likes newspapers from the '90s, if anyone feels like doing some digging.
