Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete - It takes some effort to wade through this ref-bombed article, but at the end it amounts to not much as all. I am sure that she is a very competent business leader but there is nothing here that speaks to notability. Looks like yet another paid for bio. Fails

Delete. If the premise of notability here is being the CEO of AgriLedger as the lead sentence suggests then I don't think that holds water. AgriLedger doesn't appear to be a notable company. And if it was, we would have an article about it and redirect Leveille to it. The company appears to have at most 15 employees; no accounts have been filed for 2019 but as of November 2018 it was loss-making; Leveille has recently quietly resigned as a director according to the Companies House filing leaving her husband at the reins. With startups we must look at the enduring impact rather than the PR noise they generate.

I think notability hinges instead on her being a prolific public speaker at blockchain events, or could she meet

WP:ANYBIO

by being a finalist for an expanding list of awards. The events she has spoken at regurgitate a short bio presumably provided by Leveille, so I don't think that constitutes in depth or independent coverage. None of the awards are notable, and in other types of awards Wikipedia gives weight to winning an award rather than for being nominated for it.

Or does she meet

WP:BASIC? The cryptocurryclub and fairfood references provide in-depth coverage but are interviews, which we don't consider to be independent. The only other reference providing in-depth coverage is fintechfiends

and that is a blog site that profiles people working in fintech, presumably for a fee.

Her involvement in the ACChain debacle was a notable omission from the biography, which I have since remedied, but it gave me the impression that this article was a PR effort. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 10:09, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Seems to have enough citations provided about her in industry-related sources, passes the smell test in my mind. Oaktree b (talk) 20:05, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete — Fails to satisfy basic inclusion requirements, I can’t see in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources here. Celestina007 (talk) 17:40, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
