Donaldson is a former Miss Florida USA, but this on its own is not enough to make her notable. Donaldson's career in journalism is just not at a level to make her notable. The article is a horrible example of coatracking, which is one reason to avoid articles on unnotable people. Half the article goes into allegations against her non-notable then boyfriend. It is possibly a violation of biography of living people guidelines, since such guidelines apply to defamatory material against non-subjects as well as subjects. Wikipedia's purpose is not to right great wrongs, which means that Wikipedia articles are not the place to carry out diatribes against those accused of domestic abuse.

Keep. Her "career in journalism" gets coverage from the Washington Post.[1] She's worked for national networks, multiple ones, and in major stations of major television markets. That is prime notability. And she was Miss Florida USA. Whether or not the latter would have sufficed, the former certainly does. --GRuban (talk) 01:45, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
