Lack of significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. ProQuest only turns up one news article that can be considered significant coverage in the course of a 25+ year career. Only significant coverage from Google is interviews with blogs and biography pages from employers. Hirolovesswords (talk) 13:17, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have to disagree with the need for reliable, independent sources when discussing a public figure who has been on television for, as you mentioned, 25+ years. She exists, even if there is little external coverage about it. Milchama (talk) 13:39, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Notability requires verifiable evidence that the subject has received significant attention from independent sources to support a claim of notability.No subject is automatically or inherently notable merely because it exists. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 20:34, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
We don't keep articles about people just because they exist — people are still highly vulnerable to having false or damaging or libellous information inserted into their articles. Notability on Wikipedia, rather, is always conditional on being the subject of reliable source coverage, and no topic ever gets an exemption from that.

Comment - Based on what evidence? --Hirolovesswords (talk) 20:34, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Existence does not automatically equate to notability, but the level of reliable sourcing required to get her from existence to notability has not been shown. Bearcat (talk) 05:51, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
