The business enterprise is trivial, and the awards are promotional , and do not show notability . An MBE is the lowest level, there is no limit to the number awarded, and is not considered at WP as a significant honour.

Keep -She meets WP:GNG. (I just added a ref from the Guardian, but IMO she already met (or exceeded) notability.) JSFarman (talk) 17:50, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment' People tellingtheir own life stories from their own POV do not show notability ; it's publicity, even if a major newspaper chooses to publish it. (Yes, I am saying that we have tto look at the content , not the name of the publication). The Independent story in particular is a PR job in the most classic of senses. If it shows notability , it's the notability of her PR firm in getting it placed. DGG ( talk ) 01:26, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
