  • Comment: She failed to pass WP:NPROF and WP:GNG also, I dont see any established notable work handled by the subject (person), President is not a notable post of any organization.Thnx :) ~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 15:01, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Still does not appear to pass WP:NPROF, as the only claim to notability of "being senior director" is not quite enough to meet these guidelines. Utopes (talk / cont) 03:19, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: I don't see how this person pases WP:NPROF, and there's not enough coverage to argue he passes the WP:GNG. Being president of an organization is not a criterion for notability. Drmies (talk) 00:29, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
