Comment: Does not appear to meet minimum requirements of WP:GNG, WP:BIO or WP:JOURNALIST. Submitter suggests Soni's bylines "count in a legal sense as press about them" [however, they are not significant coverage - ie: more than passing mentions or routine reporting] and "the awards listed are considered major in the data journalism community" [irrelevant - notability for Wikipedia sets a higher bar].

- Comment: Need sources that have written in-depth about her, not what she has written or said. Also, awards needs to a major award, such as a Pulitzer or Murrow. Please also remove all the WP:external links in the body. S0091 (talk) 22:22, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
