Little evidence of independent, reliable sources to support any claims of notability as defined by WP:BIO. Heavily edited by two obviously related accounts with serious WP:COI issues. All sources in the article are either short, trivial mentions, or are published by the subject themselves OR by her employers, thus lack any indepence. Otherwise, this person does not appear to meet the minimum inclusion criteria as spelled out at WP:GNG. Jayron32 05:51, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The references aren't that bad. The Word Magazine reference is brief, but not trivial. Airplay Monitors or Airplay Monitor may be defunct (I think it was merged into another magazine which in turn was merged into Billboard, which is notable), but appears to be a reliable source, since it was published by VNU. The position of program director of a major market radio station is like that of a newspaper or magazine editor - not inherently notable, but quite possibly notable. – Eastmain (talk) 06:31, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The sources given do not seem notable and the apparent main point of notability of Price - her having "launched Toronto's first commercial, 24-hour R&B radio" - seems to have too little a scope. Having "launched" (what does it mean, by the way? is she the owner? the producer? did she do the advertisement for it?) a radio station of a particular genre in a particular city is an achievement for one's professional life, I suppose, but not from a global point of view. It is a bit like having published a book: for the author it is a great success, but it does not make him automatically notable. Goochelaar (talk) 19:20, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
