  • Comment: So far, the sources you've put in the article aren't showing notability for her, either mostly using quotes from her (like Epigram), being published by the BBC, (which she works for) or being primary. (like the Kids Rated source) Are there any other sources documenting her? Tavantius (talk) 17:56, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: This cannot be accepted. Your references are not usable to verify any notability. Interviews with her, staff profiles, show credits all show she exists. Blogs are not reliable sources. The final reference may well be self written and os not significant coverage. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 10:38, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Fails WP:ANYBIO, requires significant coverage in multiple independent secondary sources. BBC London, as her employer, is a primary source and therefore not independent. Dan arndt (talk) 06:05, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
