Fails WP:BIO and WP:SIGCOV. Refs are own blogs, self-generated profiles and a Forbes contributor ref. Very poor. No secondary coverage. scope_creep Talk 19:56, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

There are four sources here that are not self-generated, third party reports on the subject. The Forbes piece is not self-generated at all. The subject is extremely significant in the development of US broadcast media, and has the citations to show for it. But the article could be augmented so edits are welcome.-- Angshah ( talk) 20:41, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
- The Forbes link is Non-RS. It is a contributor. The referencing is very poor. scope_creep Talk 22:17, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for clarifying! This helps a lot! And also, the new sources look quite good!-- Angshah ( talk) 13:43, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
Keep This is only the second time I have commented on an article for deletion. However, I have added sources providing evidence of coverage of her work (e.g., NBC News, The Verge). With the additions, I feel it is clearer that she meets WP:GNG. DaffodilOcean ( talk) 14:15, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- Keep With the 2014
National Edward R. Murrow award and particularly the 2020 Best Audio Documentary award from the
International Documentary Association (e.g. "The IDAs are among the most reliable bellwethers of the Oscar documentary feature race." per
IndieWire, "The nominees are selected by independent committees of 191 documentary makers, curators, critics, and industry experts from 25 countries." per
The Hollywood Reporter) now added to the article, I think
WP:JOURNALIST#1
regarded as an important figure
and/or #4(c)significant critical attention
is supported. Beccaynr ( talk) 14:40, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
- Comment I am working to revise the article and add sources, and it looks like there is some support for WP:CREATIVE#3 as well, due to her co-creation of a collective body of work and sources including this 2020 Vulture article focused a collective body of work that includes her role as the founder of Adonde Media, executive producer of the Las Raras podcast, as well as her work as the host and producer of the Duolingo Spanish Podcast. There is also, as noted above, the 2017 NBC News article focused on her work on the Duolingo Spanish Podcast, and the 2020 Verge article focused on it. I also found a 2017 Language Magazine review of the Duolingo Spanish Podcast. The article also has a 2014 PRI report of a work where she was a sound designer. I am still working my way through sources, including Spanish-language sources. Beccaynr ( talk) 22:06, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

- Thank you, scope_creep. I plan to further review the Spanish-language sources, including about her role with Radio Ambulante, because I think there is more, even if not particularly substantial, support for the "collective body of work" aspect of WP:CREATIVE notability based on that work, and there appears to be support for WP:BASIC related to her role as CEO of Adonde Media due to the data collection activities and her role in the podcast industry that are now more highlighted, or could be more emphasized. Overall, there now appears to be more support for WP:BASIC, and I think the Spanish-language sources that were quite deep in search results help solidify notability for this subject.

- Yes, I think it is well passed that. Nomination Withdrawn. Article has undergone significant redevelopment and meets the heymann standard. scope_creep Talk 15:02, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
- Keep Meet WP:GNG as sources in article which were added by Beccaynr. Brayan ocaner ( talk) 20:32, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
