Comment: While the article certainly is over self-promotional, would the nominator care to proffer some -- any? -- reasoning for why the subject is not notable? Ravenswing 06:53, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There is an obvious COI issue but WP:NOTCLEANUP applies. A long profile in the Berkshire Eagle, which is a definite WP:RS and multiple sermons and opinion articles in Forward, among other coverage are enough evidence for WP:GNG notability.

Strong delete Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion, and we have to be extra vigilant to stop any attempts to use it as such.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:03, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Although the article was created as an autobiography 11 years ago it has been edited substantially by many hands since then, and the subject appears to pass WP:GNG as having coverage in multiple independent sources. Interestingly in 11 years no-one had taken the trouble to leave any comment on her talk page pointing out our policies on COI, until I did so on seeing this nomination.
