  • Comment: Thanks for creating this draft. There are a few issues - please address them and re-submit the draft again. 1, the draft needs sources which discuss the subject e.g. newspaper articles, journal articles, webpages etc. 2, every statement must be referenced to a reliable source - including all the information about her early life and education. 3, WP articles can't be used as sources for WP articles (this is called a circular reference).
