Résumé-toned WP:BLP of a consultant and writer whose claims of notability are not reliably sourced. Pretty much right across the board, this is referenced to primary sources, like her own self-published website and YouTube videos of her speaking and PDF copies of her own diplomas and the buy-it pages of her work on Amazon. There's just one footnote here (#2, "Come ti alleno il board") that might be a notability-supporting source at all, but it's paywalled and I can't read enough of it to tell whether it's about her, or just soundbites her as a giver of quote in an article about something else -- and even if it is substantively about her enough to count for something, one good source doesn't get a person over the inclusion bar all by itself if all the rest of the sourcing around it is junk. As well, the article was created by a virtual SPA with a username strongly suggestive of a paid PR agent, so there's a potential conflict of interest here. As always, Wikipedia is not a free advertising platform on which people are entitled to have articles just because Amazon.com and YouTube provide technical verification that they exist: she needs to be the subject of enough coverage in real media to clear WP:GNG, but that's not what the referencing here is showing at all.

Delete: Fails WP:PROF and WP:AUTHOR and WP:GNG. Subject's academic background is insufficient to qualify for any permanent scholarly position; her NLP/hypnosis training, based on a widely discredited psych theory, actually detracts from her academic background, suggesting charlatanism. Though the article claims she has written many books, the citation attached to that claim is a brief article she wrote. In short, there is no there, there. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 16:12, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
