~~I have had a look at some sources that are available and I'm interested to see what people's thoughts are.~~

New York Times - easily the most significant coverage on this person currently

W Week - the article is focused on Alexander but the article almost entirely piggy backs off the NY Times one

Yes - describes one of her projects as "the first free, exclusively plus-size stock photo library" so a possible claim to notability there

Fast Company - not sig cov

Auto Straddle - seems to be a promotional/paid for article

Katu - very brief

If people are not in favour of deletion then it might be worth considering moving the article to AllGo as Alexander doesn't appear to be notable for anything other than the app that she has created. She appears to fail

Keep, moving to AllGo wouldn't quite make sense as she's also known for the stock-photo project and the sources are really more about her than her projects. Passes SIGCOV. The article does need to be improved to demonstrate that notability though. --Paul ❬talk❭ 13:28, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, agree with both @Paul Carpenter and Bearian: points, I would also add that there are significant amount of other sources that could be added to the article. It just needs to be rewritten and put a stub label on it, which I included below. It also passes notability guidelines, because there are independent reviews of the book she authored. - Juju (talk) 14:41, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
