  • Comment: This person probably meets WP:NPROF, but the article needs to be rewritten. There shouldn't be a list of every essay/podcast/video/course that she did. Instead, maybe just a list of books and possibly book chapters. Also, get some independent sources like reviews of her books to support the article. AllWeKnowOfHeaven (talk) 17:24, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: Zero independent sources so nothing to base an article on. Theroadislong (talk) 13:49, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
