QPQ: Done.

Overall: For notability, I assume we use the WP:ANYBIO instead of using the typical WP:AUTHOR criteria. She got a national level award, that should then be eligible. Some edits might be needed:

The source for the early life section does not indicate the number of years that she traveled around US and Canadian parks. If no clear citation, we should drop the "two years".

I've added an additional source for this.

I couldn't find a reference on her early careers on Gold Coast Indy 300, data entry, call centre work and temporary work. If you have a source, please add. Or if I missed that from the source, it will be great if you can provide a quote from the sources.

I've moved the existing source as an inline citation to make it clearer.

The 2023 adaptation to a miniseries is sourced by a 2018 article?

Good catch. I put the wrong inline citation there. It's fixed now.

If the above items are addressed, then it should be good to go. Z22 (talk) 02:13, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Z22: Thanks for your comments. I've addressed everything. Damien Linnane (talk) 03:08, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Damien Linnane:You have addressed those points. Thank you. I think for the last point though, the source only vaguely mentioned the TV show without giving details. It will be super solid if you use this NY Times article, If you incorporate this source, then it should be good to go. Z22 (talk) 03:31, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Z22: Great source; thanks for sharing. I've put this in the article now. Damien Linnane (talk) 05:59, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good now. This is good to go. Z22 (talk) 11:38, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
