Delete not a notable career. most of the coverage she has got is in CTV so the coverage is not independent. --Saqib (talk) 16:07, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No independent sources, non-notable career, fails WP:NJOURNALIST. Zhangj1079 (Saluton!) 01:45, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is a holdover from years ago, when people used to think that all you had to do to get a television journalist into Wikipedia was to take her primary source staff bio on the website of her own employer, rephrase it just enough to avoid WP:COPYVIO issues, source it to itself and voila. But they were and still are wrong: a journalist actually gets a Wikipedia article by being the subject of coverage in sources other than her own employer, not just by using her own employer's website to verify that she exists. But I can't find any valid reliable source coverage about her at all: on a ProQuest search, all I get is CTV News transcripts in which she's up next with the headlines during either Canada AM or Power Play, and one article in which she gives a brief soundbite on diversity in newsrooms. There's just nothing here to make her more noteworthy than most other working journalists who don't have articles. Bearcat (talk) 21:33, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
