No non-routine coverage of this former TV anchor and an obvious WP:GNG fail. Previously nominated in the 48-article AfD Articles for deletion/Fidel Vargas, which closed as a procedural keep due to the size of the bundle.

 * Keep - article has since been improved. Kazamzam (talk) 19:28, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: she has received Emmy Awards and the Mark Twain Award, making her a notable broadcast journalist.Rublamb (talk) 03:48, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Rublamb One thing that is not often said but should be a disclaimer about every AfD nomination of an American broadcast journalist is that the Emmy Awards are regional (in this case, Los Angeles). I have argued they don't confer notability multiple times at AfD. I'm not personally convinced that the 1984 LA Times story is enough yet? Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 06:07, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete: Local Emmys do not confirm notability here. Coverage is simply routine confirmation of where the person works and what they've done in their job over the years. Oaktree b (talk) 20:51, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. According to WP:SINGLESOURCE, one source is a wake-up call, but not enough reason to remove an article. Especially since there are already more references now. Suitskvarts (talk) 11:18, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete: None of the sources provide SIGCOV, so fails GNG. UtherSRG (talk) 17:23, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Comment. There's at least one source that easily provides significant coverage of this individual: a multi-page profile piece in The Los Angeles Times (1 2 3). My struggle has been finding a second one; the best I could come up with was a 2003 article in Television Week (describing how she almost died on-the-job) and a non-independent thing describing her retirement, but neither of those are great for notability purposes. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 04:38, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
