delete a non-notable "executive coach".John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:46, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

keep Ms. Pomerantz is a very notable business woman, contrary to what John Pack Lambert claims. She is one of the top leaders in her field of executive coaching having received numerous awards over many years. Her references include the Washington Business Journal, Washington Post, Forbes, and Smart CEO Magazine, among others.

  She is not a motivational speaker and her references are not based on press releases, as Guy claims. Does her article say "motivational speaker?" No, it does not.  Why would you make these things up?

I’ve read that it is hard for a woman business person to get a Wikipedia page. Perhaps it’s true that there is bias against women having pages on Wikipedia.

Delete The entire article is heavily promotional and designed to exalt the individual it is about, not inform readers about non-existent encyclopedia worthy notable information. The creator of the article also tried to use alleged sexism against women on Wikipedia as an excuse to save the article from deletion. Newshunter12 (talk) 11:38, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
