Comment: We require more secondary sources (i.e. sources that analyse her career without constantly quoting her directly). Her pregnancy and the birth of her child seem entirely to be run-of-the-mill events. Modussiccandi (talk) 13:09, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: There's got to be something else from independent, secondary sources on her, surely? Right now this is basically an article about her baby. asilvering (talk) 02:57, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
