Just google "Whitney Lynn Ball". There is no RS coverage of note of this person. The notability of this person is solely tied to having been one of several founders of Donors Trust. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 00:04, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - she was more often covered as "Whitney Ball", which returns more hits. There are brief obits in Reason, National Review, and the Journal of Philanthropy, none of which are particularly helpful. The best in-depth coverage I see is Mother Jones from 2014. Regardless, it seems the entirety of her notability is connected to Donors Trust. As it happens, we already have an article about that. It's possible some background about her could be expanded, so wouldn't be opposed to calling this a Merge, but I'm not seeing a case for a stand-alone article. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 16:41, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
