Comment: there needs to be significant coverage of Petrou in reliable independent sources, the majority of these sources are primary and merely confirm that she took photographs. Theroadislong (talk) 17:48, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Possibly meets WP:PHOTOGRAPHER but not sure about some of the sources being reliable. Already removed a WP:FORBESCON reference. Will leave to another. CNMall41 (talk) 23:20, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
