WP:NOTINHERITED and WP:BIO1E. Mainly notable for being the much younger wife of William Shatner, and even that was due to the circumstances of her death. Sources to illustrate standalone notability of the subject are problematic - the big item that might do it ("runner-up in Miss World") isn't cited anywhere but in a book on alcoholism (so it is likely a trivial mention), and is incorrect. A source I found here states Kidd was second runner-up in the Miss World America pageant, the winner of which goes to Miss World. We don't have articles on contestants at that level unless they went on to win the World pageant, or had some other career that met GNG.

Many of the subject's career details are not covered contemporaneously, but are sourced from obituaries. Much of the article content is trivial: a vague statement of generosity towards her family with her earnings, her early life is notably not about her, and even her career info is scant and taken mostly from two or three sources, one of which is William Shatner's own biography (written after her death, and also not an independent source). Easily 80% of the article is about her marriage to Shatner, alcoholism, and death. Those three items are substantially covered in William Shatner's article already.
