Comment: 30 under 30 is notable but there's simply not enough major independent news; focus with actual significant news, and no press releases, trivial passing mentions, interviews or other similar. SwisterTwister talk 19:41, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: Deleted 5 years ago as blatant advertisement and this is still it, something only suitable for her own Facebook and website, not here, as we're not a PR business webhost; none of this satisfies our notability policies at all, regardless of anything or anyone in this Draft.
