As I feared when we discussed this article early today, I'm not really
sure she is notable... I think that's why you can't find suitable
references to establish notability.

I'm also a little concerned that a large portion (over a third) of the
article is copied word for word from the publisher's biography of her
(the 2nd reference). It's only one and a half sentences and its the
obvious way to convey that information, so it wouldn't usually be a
problem, but the article is just so short that it is quite
significant.

It seems the biggest challenge for editing workshops is finding
suitable topics for people to create articles about (I think a lot of
people just edit existing articles, which is much easier). It's
particularly difficult for Monmonth since pretty much everything
notable in the town already has an article!
