WP:BLP of a radio personality, whose potential claims of notability aren't properly sourced. Of the 11 sources here, seven of them are primary sources (her own staff profiles on the websites of her own employers, participation in an event sourced to that event's own self-published press releases, etc.) -- and of the four that are reliable sources, two are just glancing namechecks of her existence in articles that aren't about her, and one of the two remaining sources that are substantive enough to count toward WP:GNG is a deadlink whose content is unretrievable. So there's only one source here at all that's reliable and substantive and verifiable -- but one source isn't enough to pass GNG all by itself. Bearcat (talk) 15:19, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - subject has been a DJ in several markets, and the info related to charity work and awards makes me think she meets WP:GNG (although not by a lot). PK T(alk) 18:24, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Being a DJ in several markets and/or doing charity work aren't notability claims for a radio personality — most DJs in commercial radio move around to different markets over the course of their careers, and most DJs in commercial radio do work for local charities in their spare time. And at any rate, GNG is a measure of the quality of sourcing that's present in the article, not just of anything that the article says — and the sourcing present here isn't adequate at all.
