Poorly referenced WP:BLP of a person notable only as chief of staff to a county District Attorney. This is not a claim of notability that clinches an encyclopedia article in and of itself, and being the first person of her particular ethnicity ever to hold an otherwise non-notable role is not in and of itself enough to make her special -- and the only "reference" here is her primary source staff profile on the self-published website of her own employer, which is not a notability-supporting reference. Getting into an encyclopedia for this would require her to be the subject of enough reliable source media coverage to clear WP:GNG, not just her own employer's website providing technical verification that she exists.

Delete per nom. The position the subject holds isn't the kind of position that clearly conveys notability. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:21, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The actual county prosecutor/district attorney is not even in all cases default notable (I have even seen articles on US attorney's deleted, but most will survive if enough research is done, county level is another story). However anyone under them needs significant and deep coverage. Kym Worthy may be a person whose role as a staff attorney in a county prosecutors office was significant enough to make her notable. However Worthy has since become country prosecutor, took down "King" Kwame "The Hip Hop Mayor" Kilpatrick, initiated a major effort to follow through on unprocessed rape kits, and as the chief prosecutor for a country (Wayne County, Michigan) with nearly 2 million people that as the location of Detroit also gets more attention than its size alone would suggest, the notion that she would be notable without having become county prosecutor is hard to test (you could retroactively do an indepth search of all information on her published before she became prosecutor to get some sense, but I am sure some of the information on her most famous case, the prosecution of officers Budzyn and Nevers for the alleged murder of Malice Green, has been published since she became prosecutor, and how that influences the other material may be hard to know.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:34, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
