  • Comment: Nice job with the citations. But the citations are not in depth enough. They do not appear to pass WP:GNG. Articles that just interviewed or quoted her are not independent. Articles that just mention her without going into depth are not enough significant coverage. Please add better citations if they exist. –Novem Linguae (talk) 09:04, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
