This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: The decline comment by ChrysGalley still stands TNM101 (in solidarity · chat) 04:49, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

Comment: It does not look like any of the 8 criteria for academic notability is yet shown. See WP:NACADEMIC. If no criteria is met then instead notability has to come from other people writing about the subject and her work, not via her own output. See the WP:GOLDENRULE.
