WP:BLP of a former television personality, not properly sourced as passing our inclusion criteria for television personalities. This is a 15-year-old holdover from an era when we had a bad habit of extending an automatic presumption of notability to any television personality so long as their existence was technically verified by a staff profile on the self-published website of their own employer -- but that's long since been deprecated, and we're much clearer now that a television personality has to clear WP:GNG on reliable source coverage about her in sources independent of her own employers.
But there's only one reliable or notability-supporting source here (an Ottawa Citizen article from 2008), which isn't enough coverage to singlehandedly get her over the bar all by itself, and this is otherwise referenced entirely to directory entries, press releases, glancing namechecks of her existence in coverage of events she was the PR person for, and content self-published by her own employers, none of which are notability-building sources at all. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to have a lot more than just one hit of GNG-worthy coverage. Bearcat (talk) 14:12, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
