 * Delete. As usual, television personalities are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their existence can be verified through content self-published by their own employers. The notability test requires evidence of significance (e.g. notable professional awards), not just verification of existence. But there are no independent secondary sources here, and even on a ProQuest search for older coverage that might not Google well, I can find just one article that's actually a viable source on the occasion of her initial hiring at Metro Morning 20 years ago — but one good article isn't enough all by itself, and otherwise I'm not getting coverage about her, but transcripts of weather reports by her, which isn't what we're looking for. (Also, the claim that she was Toronto's first female on-air meteorologist is bull droppings, considering that Susan Hay, who was the on-air meterologist at a local television station in my hometown when I was in high school, left that job in 1989 to take a new job as an on-air meteorologist at CIII-TV — and I can't even vouch that Susan Hay was the first either, because I didn't live in Toronto at the time, but she very obviously came before Natasha Ramsahai regardless. Similarly, before I even saw this at all, somebody else stripped a similarly false claim to historic firstness on a different criterion — "first meterologist ever hired by the CBC" — which completely ignored the existence of Percy Saltzman.)

 * Delete - I was able to find 2007 Toronto Star coverage with some biographical information, and 2020 Boston Globe coverage with some commentary on her work generally, but this is not sufficient for WP:BASIC or WP:JOURNALIST or WP:NPROF notability. Beccaynr (talk) 18:58, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. She exists, she has a job. But there isn't anything beyond that. Does not meet WP:JOURNALIST. --Kbabej (talk) 23:13, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
