I am unconvinced that our notability requirements for people are met for this article as I am unable to find substantial coverage in independent sources. The majority of the references currently cited are to the website of the subject's company and so are not independent. The HuffPost article is the best but is of dubious reliability. The inclusion on the power list of britain's most influential black people is an indicator of some notability, but I don't consider that sufficient without other sources which we can use to write a reliably sourced article. My own searches have not turned up much better, with this article about her company in the independent the best available. SmartSE ( talk) 13:16, 30 October 2017 (UTC) reply

• Keep I think she passes WP:NSPORTS. She placed 3rd with the Hoop and 6th with the ribbon in gymnastics, at the 94 Commonwealth Games. If I'm wrong about the sports (and I may be since I'm not interested in sports in general so the intricacies of the rules are often lost on me), ping me. She does turn up in a lot of tabloid sources, however and probably would pass GNG. Megalibrarygirl ( talk) 18:27, 30 October 2017 (UTC) reply
• Keep Passes WP:NGYMNAST by being a multi-medalist ('94 Commonwealth Games, bronze in Ball and bronze in Hoop). Since the prime of the subject was pre-Internet, sources will be hard to find via a Google search. So the presumption should carry its weight that eventually sources would be found if we went through hard archives. Even with that in mind, I think its a great sign that at least some sources are being found today. In view of all this, keep. RonSigPi ( talk) 20:19, 30 October 2017 (UTC) reply
• Keep Found a paywalled Financial Times article about her and an article in the Independent about her. Also added links from her wins at the 1994 Commonwealth games back to this article. Stinglehammer ( talk) 01:16, 31 October 2017 (UTC) reply
• Keep: another version of the FT article is at https://www.ft.com/content/58dd870e-e23c-11e1-be25-00144feab49a and general good coverage. Pam D 09:06, 31 October 2017 (UTC) reply
