Unable to find sources to verify this article, not sure even if I could that she would qualify as notable enough for a stand-alone article Courcelles (talk) 18:38, 26 July 2018 (UTC) (Note: Even after a few sources were found down below, I'm still a delete here, the sources mention her, they do not establish notability.)

Delete The article totally lacks context. Since Verdier is more than likely alive, this is almost certainly a major BLP violation. The language of the article is clearly NPOV, calling an associate of Thatcher "notorious" for no justified reason.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:40, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep ~~this probably should have been a BLP prod, and it probably would have been deleted that way.~~ However, I found some mentions of her ([1][2][3][4]). I couldn't find an Obituary, and for such a relatively high profile individual it likely means she is probably still alive. Based on some of the sources above I'd say she is notable, I'd say there probably is enough in google books searches to create an article and demonstrate notability. I also found a source for the second sentence in the article. I added 5 references to the article. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 01:02, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Been around since 2004, that's too old to BLP Prod, at least I thought. Courcelles (talk) 01:31, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, of course. I didn't check the creation date. Got NPP on the mind. BLP prod wouldn't have worked. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 20:35, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
