Fails WP:GNG. I tagged the article as A7 but it was decline with a suggestion to try a redirect, but I can't find any article where she is mentioned. Bbb23 (talk) 16:05, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Durham College source in the article notes "Currently: Columnist for CBC Radio and producer for Metro Morning". Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 16:06, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Being producer of a radio show is not an automatic notability freebie that exempts a person from having to clear WP:GNG on the sourcing — but the references here are an alumni profile on the self-published website of her own alma mater and a staff profile on the website of her employer, which means they aren't independent or notability-supporting sources. She has to be the subject (not the author) of media coverage about her to clear GNG, but that's not what these sources are. To be fair, I'll note that I literally woke up this very morning to Manjula Selvarajah guest-hosting the weekend morning program on my local CBC station, but even having been heard as a listener-facing radio host is still not a notability freebie in the absence of reliable source coverage about her (although it probably does explain why this article suddenly happened yesterday.) I will also note that even Nana aba Duncan, the regular host Selvarajah was subbing for, doesn't have a Wikipedia article yet either, because Duncan has also not yet been the subject of enough reliable source media coverage about her to clear the GNG bar.

Delete No article about her in the media. No independent sources. — Mathieudu68 ^talk 19:36, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:SIGCOV, WP:MILL, and WP:OUTCOMES. There's not a lot of coverage about the subject. Being a producer is a run of the mill career, and we generally delete such articles, absent clear notability on air. Bearian (talk) 13:30, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
