No coverage in RS (or anywhere else that I could see for that matter), does not meet WP:GNG, WP:NBIO. I found a bunch of articles written by her for Deutschlandfunk, but that doesn't establish notability as it's by the subject, not about the subject. According to the article history, it was translated from an article on the German wikipedia. However, the German article itself was deleted on the 26th of October (discussion here, in German of course). German Wikipedia doesn't have the same guidelines as English Wikipedia, but in this case the closing consensus reasoning seems to be the same as my own (no coverage of the subject in reliable sources). signed,Rosguill talk 01:28, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

 * This German article was victim of a vandal with administrative rights and subject of a mass deletion attack. You hear this correspondent several times a week on air, making her notable to be listed in Wikipedia. The vandal also deleted the biographical article of the head of the Berlin studio of this public broadcast station, witch is even more relevant. The problem with this vandal is, he was accused to have worked to another opposing media company, and has removed criticism in related articles, which appears to be WP:COI. -- Hans Haase (有问题吗) 09:24, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Being on the air several times a week is not a notability criterion. We need coverage in independent, reliable sources about the subject. As far as I can tell, by "the German article was victim of a vandal with administrative rights", you mean that you nominated them for a vandalism investigation, which was closed without finding of fault on the part of the accused. Regardless, the nature of the German article and its deletion really doesn't matter: what matters is being able to provide sources that actually establish notability as per English Wikipedia's guidelines signed,Rosguill talk 00:54, 21 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment, the german discussion says it all - Koch appears to be "just doing her job", has she received any awards, is she/her work discussed? that said, a redirect to a section on "presenters/reporters" at Deutschlandfunk may be appropriate as a wikireader search.Coolabahapple (talk) 21:11, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - as per nom. Can't find enough in-depth coverage to show they pass WP:GNG. Onel 5969  TT me 12:40, 21 December 2018 (UTC)


 * >400 search hits found as reporter or author on DLF should proof, she is part of the weekly, sometimes daily program. -- Hans Haase (有问题吗) 22:51, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
