I became aware of this article from a post that an IP made at BLPN [1] (that they later deleted). This article has a chequered history, having been created by a sockpuppeteer and has seemingly received a lot of promotional editing, which has since been repeatedly cut down. I'm just not seeing any coverage that passes WP:GNG, including coverage in previous versions of the article. Hemiauchenia (talk) 20:44, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I'm not sure if it's the same person, quite a few mentions of this person that does interviews [2]... For what's in the article, being laid off isn't notable, 9/11 is neither here nor there, employment- and notability-wise. Oaktree b (talk) 01:41, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think the interviewer is the same person. She seems to be associated with PR.com. I was not able to find any sigcov of her work as an interviewer, but only mentions in passing. The closest I was able to find was this, but this is in the unreliable NYPOST, so therefore is not usable. Hemiauchenia (talk) 01:44, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete prolific interviewer of celebrities, but I find no independent sources about her. She is listed as an author in tons of minor publications, including at least one, Cannabis Today, for which no articles appear. She has self-published a memoir. Lamona (talk) 17:50, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - the Entrepreneur source in the article appears to be a contributor piece, which per WP:RS/P should be treated as self-published, and I have also not found independent and reliable coverage to support notability. The Amazon listing for the self-published book also does not appear to list substantial, independent, reliable, and secondary coverage in its "Praise for Journaling Fame" section. The best coverage seems to be a 2016 news.com.au interview that also announces the upcoming book, without substantial independent or secondary content.
