  • Comment: The Mail is deprecated and must not be cited, and the NY Post is not considered a reliable source.
    Please cut down on the WP:REFBOMBING in the 2nd para of 'Advocacy and Viral Content', we surely don't need 20 (!) cites to support a fairly pointless factoid about her travels.
    I have serious doubts about notability, also, after the above-mentioned issues have been rectified, but will reserve judgement on that until the next review. DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:16, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
