Comment: No evidence of significant coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources (more than passing mentions or routine reporting). Draft includes four sources (Swift Press and Critic mag) who publish Gosling's work (not independent), three brief mentions in reports on research reports (routine), her father's obituary (passing mentions), a Companies House listing (primary, not reliable), and an apparent review of her first book (paywalled - so I couldn't investigate further). The last may be significant, but not enough to warrant publication to mainspace. Fails WP:AUTHOR criteria. Paul W (talk) 16:44, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
