The result was delete, but I am moving this to Draft:Susan Sobbott, on the outside chance that it can be further developed into something worthy of inclusion. I am also move-protecting the page to insure that it goes through proper vetting before being moved back. bd2412 T 20:16, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Mid-level executive. It is very unusual for me or anyone to nominate for deletion a WP article sourced by a NYT article devoted to the subject. But the NYT piece is not a RS in this case--it's not even an interview--she wrote it about herself and it appears over her own signature.The Working Mother article is a more conventional promotional bio where she says what she wishes. Nothing else is substantial. The contributor is a spa, and wrote it as now required in draft space--but after accumulating the necessary number of edits on it, moved it themselves into mainspace. That's an abuse of procedure.  DGG ( talk ) 01:50, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. Other than self-promotional pieces, not enough in-depth coverage to show they pass wp:gng.  Onel 5969  TT me 02:13, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep John Battelle at least does not think she is a "mid-level executive." Agreed that NYT article by her is not evidence of notability but other articles suggest she is, eg. and probably more. HouseOfChange (talk) 18:46, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
