Comment: I see no significant coverage in independent reliable sources, Issuu is not a reliable source. GoldRomean (talk) 19:00, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: In addition, the draft is not written in an encyclopedic tone, but comes across as promotional. bonadea contributions talk 12:35, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: All sources are from her own organisation's website, which should not be used as a source at all (except possibly to verify some uncontroversial claim such as the year it was founded). bonadea contributions talk 12:34, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Media reports show that Rowley is regularly consulted to support vegan complainants.[20][21][22][23]
In addition to devising the vegan rights strategy, Rowley introduced The Vegan Society’s Education function to support educators and protect vegan pupils from unfair treatment and discrimination.[24]
