Subjects lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. The Pulitzer prize nomination is dubious (no mention at Pulitzer.org), I've found no evidence of the awards from city and state organizations, and even if verifiable, they may not be enough to satisfy WP:ANYBIO (note that the Golden Quill Award mentioned in this article is not the Shakespearean award of the same name). Also note, the article creator has a history of paid article editing, although it is undetermined whether the same applies here. --Animalparty! (talk) 21:23, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete (with impunity). The good news is that we do not need to TNT this awful article --or do something about the hoax Pulitzer nomination-- as the web holds basically zero mention of this person. And I mean nothing. Completely fails even WP:BASIC.104.163.147.121 (talk) 09:57, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment assuming good faith she may have been nominated for a pullitzer but not shortlisted as the website only seems to list the shortlist for each year's award but I can't verify it anyway Atlantic306 (talk) 20:03, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Sourceless, fairly standard reporter's CV. --Calton | Talk 15:42, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete My search found nothing to indicate she meets WP:GNG. Her Golden Quill awards/nominations are local awards from the Press Club of Western Pennsylvania's annual competition with paid entries in one of 103 categories (as of 2017).  The Pulitzer Prize nomination may be valid, but it is not an indicator of notability since journalism entries "may be made by any individual based on material coming from a United States newspaper, magazine or news site".

 * Delete Dearth of sources to show notability. Found evidence she brought sweets to a protest, but no sources covering her.  ~  Amory  (u • t • c) 16:53, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
