WP:BLP of a writer and community organizer, whose claims of notability are referenced almost entirely to primary sources rather than reliable or independent ones. As always, people are not automatically notable just because their work self-verifies itself in content self-published by directly affiliated organizations -- the notability test is not the things she does, but the amount of media coverage she does or doesn't receive for doing them. But even the small amount of "media" sourcing shown here is almost entirely from WordPress blogs, not real media -- and the only footnote that's actually from a real, established media outlet is a brief mention of her existence in an article that isn't about her, which isn't substantive enough coverage all by itself to exempt her from having to have any other legitimate sources.

• Weak keep She seems notable for being honored by the Obama Administration, even if other coverage is poor. -Jordgette [talk] 17:33, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
• :Is the "API women's Champion of Change" a government award? Source? And if so, is it notable? And if so, and she's only known for this award, would that be enough to warrant an article? Best, PK650 (talk) 21:57, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
• ::I also think that the award may not be major enough to constitute WP:ANYBIO#1. Is it {{tq|well-known and significant}}? — MarkH₂₁^talk 04:02, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
• Keep Mia Mingus is a notable disability activist, who is especially well-known in LGBTQ+ spaces and disability justice spaces. There are plenty of mentions/features of her in LGBTQ+ media sources that are independent of her writings and publications. As per WP:AUTHOR points 1 and 2, she is both "widely cited by peers or successors" and "known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique" for her naming and analysis of "Access Intimacy".

• Keep Easily passes Notability with the current sources. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 10:17, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
• Keep, even when discounting Forbes, because that is one of those contributor articles, I see six magazines: outsmartmagazine.com, belatina.com, thestrand.ca, thefeministwire.com, advocate.com, gomag.com. There is sufficient coverage in independent, reliable sources to sustain an article. Vexations (talk) 23:15, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
