 * 'Delete - Unsourced BLP of a subject failing our General Notability Guideline. Carrite (talk) 14:39, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep – For notability. I think every top adviser in the White House is notable. The press secretary is probably the top adviser to the First Lady, so that passes. We have an article on Hannah August, Michelle Obama's press secretary, who has had a similar career. So I cleaned up the external links and now it has 2 references to White House archives. However, several paragraphs in the article are word-for-word copies of the second reference, so I tagged that. If those aren't cleaned up it will have to be stubbed as copyvio. – Margin1522 (talk) 13:24, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Article appears to be autobiographical, having been created by Smcd5. The only cites are to White House announcements -- which, BTW, are not copyvio because of being Federal documents and thus in public domain. LaMona (talk) 23:25, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment Thanks, that's a good point. I removed the copypaste tag. – Margin1522 (talk) 15:34, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete: I did a few minutes of searching, but cannot find sources supporting notability.  Certainly she got cited as a spokesperson for Mrs. Bush, but there are no profiles of her.  And not much to get from things like the link to her in India (cat): "In a statement to the press regarding India's death, Sally McDonough, a spokesperson for First Lady Laura Bush, noted that the family was "deeply saddened" by their cat's death."  What we have here is more of a WP:LINKEDIN profile than a viable BLP.--Milowent • hasspoken  05:43, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep There are enough sources to prove notability. Any advisor to a US president is notable. AlbinoFerret  16:01, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
