A search for sources in google news and google books yields very little except namesakes. Ambassadors are not inherently notable. Fails WP:BIO. She also fails WP:PROF as an academic as google scholar yields little. LibStar (talk) 23:19, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. How thoroughly did you look in google books? The first book in my search Envoys Extraordinary: Women of the Canadian Foreign Service has an entire chapter (chapter 18) dedicated to her. That's clearly not a namesake, and definitely WP:SIGCOV. I'm going to look for more...4meter4 (talk) 23:40, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'm seeing a fair amount of coverage. Some examples:

Montreal a enfin son Institut d'etudes internationales - Le Devoir
Working overseas has its rewards - The Gazette
Old boy network falls to the new diplomat - The Toronto Star
Diplomatic Appointment - The Ottawa Citizen
Anne Leahy, career diplomat, to teach course on Catholic social thought - McGill Reporter

Though the book chapter alone found by 4meter4 speaks massively for her notability. Silver seren^C 06:52, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. In addition to sources above, I also found a paragraph with photograph in the National Catholic Reporter (People July 25, 2008 via Ebsco), and a full article (First woman appointed as Canada's ambassador to Vatican. Our Sunday Visitor July 27, 2008 via Ebsco). GNG appears to be met. Espresso Addict (talk) 06:55, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
