This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: Being the vice president of the Arizona Cardinals is not enough to establish notability. There is sufficient lack of WP:SIGCOV and a suspect of WP:INHERIT. Yes, her father is notable, but that doesn't show that the family should/will. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 09:33, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

Early life and education
[edit]Nicole Bidwill's grandfather, Charles Bidwill, acquired the Cardinals in 1933, when the team was based in Chicago. After Charles passed away in 1947, his widow, Violet, took over ownership and eventually relocated the team to St. Louis in 1960. Following Violet's death, the team ownership was divided between Nicole's father, Bill, and her uncle, Charles Bidwill Jr., with Bill becoming the sole owner in 1971.[4] Her father, Bill Bidwill, owned the team until his death in 2019.
Nicole attended Marymount University, where she earned both a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Master of Business Administration.[5]
