Badly written but maybe (has awards), maybe not (obscure). Forgotpassword321 (talk) 07:37, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I looked at the awards; they appear weak to me. Stevie, IMA and Enterprising Women seem to be characterised by the very large numbers of listed "winners" and "finalists", to the extent that for me they border on PR fodder scam. I'm not impressed by position 96 on someone's list of canadian women entrepreneurs. There's no clarity about her association with the various space societies; she might, for all we know, be a member of them. That's not notable, and right now they lend nothing to the claim of notability. There's also a non-specific indication of printed syndication of what might be thought of as a blog. The article rings enough of my "using wikipedia as an additional promotional tool" bells and way too few notability bells. Right now, I'd delete it. --Tagishsimon (talk) 00:27, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree that they are "weak" awards. A couple of minutes' reading will show you that the Stevies are quite well known, and that other winners there were execs from places like iRobot and Accenture, so not small potatoes. The presenters for that year's awards were Cheryl Casone of Fox business news and Carolyn Kepcher, formerly of the Trump Organization. I'd have sourced this picture for the article http://www.flickr.com/photos/stevieawards/4101751451/in/set-72157622801324898/, but it's not public domain. As for 'someone's list' - the list in question is a national ranking by Canada's leading business magazine. MagikDragon

Keep I think as the article now stands there is a strong enough claim of notability. The awards are diverse, and both national and international, I think that should be enough for WP:BIO. Monty₈₄₅ 03:48, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
