Comment: Needs more reliable secondary sources. BenTanXiaoMing (talk) 18:03, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: speaker profile write-ups are usually contributed by speakers or their teams, which would make them primary sources. These are also typically promotional and biased. We require better sources, preferably from third party, independent sources reporting about her rather than representing her. – robertsky (talk) 06:23, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
