Major notability concerns. Sources about the subject seem to fail requirements for NBIO/GNG, they are either in passing, rewritten press-releases, or
WP:INTERVIEWS. I am not seeing anything that's both in-depth and reliable. A merge has been suggested in an edit summary by editor who removed the PROD but with no specific article. We don't usually merge biographies into other pages, so I don't see a good target.
OPI Products would not be a valid target, as we don't generally preserve employees bios in company's articles. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

Another
WP:POINTy AfD after a PROD was shot down. There are alternatives possible, like a merge with the company. But there are also in-depth sources available, that a proper WP:BEFORE could have unearthed, like
this one. The Bannertalk 15:04, 9 March 2020 (UTC)reply
"
Local Color" by Kate M. Jackson, Boston Globe (Aug 4, 2005)
She's the CEO of a company, so obviously the articles are about her business, and they're interviews, because that's how you write articles about CEOs. Times of Israel, Forbes, Jewish News, New York Magazine and Boston Globe are reliable sources. I'll add these three to the article in a Further reading section so that people who want to improve the article can use them as sources. --

Thanks for finding more sources, but they are still low quality. Almost all are interviews in low outlets. Sure,
WP:INTERVIEW is "just an essay", but the point is not a single source here seems to be a very good much for the GNG (not an essay...) requirement of in-depth coverage in reliable sources. What coverage there is beyond interviews is focused on her company, not on herself. Her life has not been subject to any in-depth treatment outside, arguably, interviews. It's borderline. I've seen worse bios, but I've seen plenty, IMHO, similar, deleted, as at best
WP:TOOSOON. Well, let's see what others think. Notable bio, or vanity piece? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

Weak Keep in the business/fashion press for multiple years, coverage in Forward[1], New York Times[2], Reuters,[3] Los Angeles Times.[4] Per BASIC - If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability....
Forward piece is mostly about her company, not her. Sane for the LA Times. NYTimes piece mentions her in passing and is not in-depth. Reuters piece is a
WP:INTERVIEW. Sorry, those are weak sources. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

Keep I've added a few more sources. Passes GNG.
