A trivial case of BLP1E, wherein all mentions in reliable media-units mention her in the context of one of the lines of her poem being recited by Clinton.

What else?! (Random interviews don't add any to notability.)

I see that the creator does seem to possess an extreme adulation for wikimedia-personalities.∯WBG^converse 14:09, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Winged Blades of Godric. I take umbrage at your scurrilous comment about "extreme adulation" – and it is a cheap shot to link to an ANI. Please redact this off-topic comment. I consider it to be a personal attack. Thank you. Having fun! Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 08:16, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, well referenced article about a person and a poem which had an effect on international relations and a book by Hillary Clinton. Randy Kryn (talk) 15:02, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Randy Kryn, WP:BLP1E? And, we're meeting after a long time:-) ∯WBG^converse 15:13, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you are a memorable editor. The one event is a pretty good one, and she has done other things, including a stint as a Wikimedia official. Wikipedia is now set-in-stone enough in society that people who've worked there, or made major accomplishments here, should be as notable as any other participants of a unique knowledge force. The sources and references are strong. I don't get the reasoning of one-event guidelines, although I haven't memorized it. Seems many people are justifiably notable for one event, and then we have major league baseball, where if a person under a major-league contract walks on the field for one inning and then is never heard of or never does anything notable again they are automatically considered notable and article-worthy. Being the catalyst for Hillary Clinton, in events aimed to shift the public's perception and actions towards women in society, "ain't nuttin to sneeze at".

Keep I struggled to find good sources, but I've identified a few and expanded the article a bit. I'm confident that improvement, not deletion, is the answer here. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 21:37, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment this is a case of borderline-notability for a person affiliated with the Foundation. It is definitely not a WP:BLP1E. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:55, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There is no strong claim to notability and the article itself with mentions of Wikipedia connections adds up to navel gazing on Wikipedia's part.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:11, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The amount of coverage in this article dealing with Wikipedia amounts to one small sentence. Most of the article has nothing to do with it. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 08:43, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Once you negate that, it shifts to a BLP1E case or so I believe.I'll try to provide a detailed analysis of available sourcing, though... ∯WBG^converse 11:45, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Good sourcing and I've found reviews of more of her work. Passes GNG and probably CREATIVE. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 19:25, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The subject has received significant coverage in recent years and thus meets the criteria set forth in WP:GNG. MBlaze Lightning 06:15, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: meets WP:CREATIVE per review of available sources. K.e.coffman (talk) 08:26, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Passes WP:GNG. Sources mentioned in RS are reliable. Accesscrawl (talk) 13:44, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
