Allyson is a person notable for 1 event
This article is about a person who is notable, or at least has been in for last 15 months or so, for one event regarding their "cancellation" due to the usage of the word "minor-attracted person" in their academic book on November 8 2021.
I have written it because I believe that Allyn's academic work and their positions during the incident have been repeatedly, and more likely than not will continue to be, covered by reputable sources due to the ongoing media coverage of queer professors who have been targeted by
Libs of TikTok and other related organizations (see:
[1] (newsweek, reliable source) from january of this year,
[2] (Insider) from Septermber 2022,
[3] from october 2022, and
[4] from may 2022), thus making it compliant with
Wikipedia:BLP1E due to:
a) the visibly vast documentation of Dr. Walker's identity, academic feats and publicly-held positions, which makes it not target of the third eliminating factor of this WP policy related to not sufficiently documented individuals; and
b) the fact that Dr. Walker has been repeatedly mentioned by reputable sources dating as far as two months ago, thus meaning that they are unlikely to remain "low-profile" further on, which makes this article not a target of the second eliminating factor of this rule. As the same rule states that "The significance of an event or the individual's role is indicated by how persistent the coverage is in reliable sources.".

Walker was mentioned last week again by
UnHerdhere. I think it's reasonable to conclude that wp:notnews does not apply here due to
WP:SUSTAINED coverage of Allyn over time. 🔥

I'm not sure if Allyn is a person famous for one event anymore. Most reliable sources here say that allyn was under attack for their interview with Prostasia (from nov 2021) AND the publication of their book on Amazon (from june 2021). These seem to be two distinct events with a 5-month span betwen them to me, even though both of them were mostly reported at the same time (late 2021). Most reliable sources here cover the two events while giving more weigh to the first, and they make it very clear that the event of Walker's publishing their book was what led to the event of their interview with prostasia. Seems like two to me.
It could be argued that the ''reaction'' to their book and interview was one event, but that sounds like a stretch. Most reliable sources are focusing more on Allyn's book and interview than ''the reactions'' that they had. 🔥
