The individual seems to be non-notable. The six sources in the article each appear to be paid, to come from unreliable sources, or to be primary-source interviews--none of which contribute towards meeting

WP:NBASIC

.

AccessWire is a public relations wire service.
Face2Face Africa is owned by a marketing firm.
"Disruptors Magazine" seems to be a contributors blog, a-la-
WP:FORBESCON
, though potentially with more paid content.
LA Progressive is a political group blog, and the post is marked at the bottom as sponsored content.
Khaleej Times is an unbylined extremely primary source interview.
This is 50 seems to be written by Hardcore Flava, which appears to be a fake name.

Trolling through google, I found a labeled opinion piece (

looks like a Forbes Contributor-style situation) in Entrepreneur that isn't written by a journalist. I also found a piece

by "The Daily Front Row" that is both unbylined and an extremely primary source interview.

The current status of the page is that it is a stub that comes off as extremely advertorial--half of the two sentences are dedicated to labeling her as being among the top female producers in her industry without any real support from RS, while the infobox "occupation" field feels like I am reading part of a LinkedIn page.

For the reason that Marion fails

Delete, yes, the sources are awful, and looking at her work as an author, there seems a bias towards self-publishing in places that offer no quality control (e.g. CreateSpace). There is nothing in the current one-line, one-photo-and-a-load-of-links article that is in any way salvageable. Elemimele (talk) 13:14, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete inadequate sourcing. Her work as a writer is not turning out significant works for sure.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:39, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Lots of paid PR, but nothing in the way of RS to support an article. --Kbabej (talk) 22:22, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
