  • Comment: This is based far, far too heavily on primary sources that do not constitute support for notability, and shows very little WP:GNG-worthy coverage about her in reliable source third-party media. Even the few hits that do come from media are, by and large, glancing namechecks of her existence as a provider of soundbite in articles about other things or people, which are still not support for notability — she has to be the subject of a source, not just a name present in a source whose subject is something else, for that source to contribute any notability points.
