{{AFC comment|1=The cited sources still are heavily tied to the subject of the article, either by authorship or by her organization. Reference 5 *might* be supportive of notability, but it's mostly just a short bio in an announcement. Other mentions are trivial in pieces about other topics. We need significant independent coverage specifically about the subject. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 10:57, 29 May 2025 (UTC)}}
{{AFC comment|1=Hello, I am declining your draft because it doesn't yet demonstrate how the subject meets our notability guidelines. That's not to say that she doesn't (or couldn't in the future), but it must be supported and verifiable in the sourcing. Right now, all of the references are either 1) primary (written by subject herself) or 2) non-independent (affiliated w/ the heritage alliance). I encourage you to review our policies on reliable sources and verifiability for notability in biographies. Thank you, Zzz plant (talk) 22:01, 1 May 2025 (UTC)}}
