Fails WP:POLITICIAN and WP:ENT; she was elected to a local council, and I couldn't even find her on IMDb. The notable thing about her is that she's the first black woman to be elected to a county council in Ireland, plus she's an immigrant, both of which is pretty dope. She is borderline notable (in terms of press coverage), and I'm eager to hear what you think.

 * Keep – per the sources identified by  and other sources identified in my BEFORE search, subject meets the GNG. Being a "first black woman and first migrant elected to Irish county council" is a significant claim to notability.   Princess of Ara (talk)  11:29, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment per WP:HEY, this article has been revised and expanded, which helps emphasize her notability not only per WP:GNG and WP:BASIC, but also WP:NPOL, because she is a [m]ajor local political [figure] who [has] received significant press coverage, i.e. per footnote 8, A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists, including due to her local and national anti-racism advocacy, which has been WP:SUSTAINED since she was elected.

 * Wow. What you've done is incredible. I fully expected this to be a possibility (nominated; consensus would be keep). Glad that nominating it gave love and attention to it.
 * I'm all for Keep. SWinxy (talk) 06:07, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Well done on improving the article! @Beccaynrand well done to you @SWinxy for being willing to vote keep.  Princess of Ara (talk)  07:09, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
