Delete Everything I found on Google covered the same basic information about her (her ability to collect static electricity on her body), plus some sites I believe are irrelevant to her. As this article is about a person with a major role in a minor event, the name of the person should redirect to the article on the incident, because the individual is only notable for that incident and it is all that the person is associated with in the source coverage. But, the event does not have
enduring historical significance and will not likely
impact the future. --

Street light interference phenomenon - there is a 2004 Guardian source in the article, as well as a 2000 The Sunday Telegraph source in the WP Library, via ProQuest, "When people and machines don't get on ELECTRICITY" that mentions "Michael Shallis, a science tutor in Oxford, made a four-year study of 600 people exhibiting extremes of bioelectricity, and published the results in The Electric Shock Book in 1988. One woman studied by Shallis was Jacqueline Priestman of Sale, near Manchester, who had ruined 30 vacuum cleaners, five irons and two washing machines in 10 years." The 1985 New Straits Timessource in the article focuses on her, but seems questionable as a source. The sources seem to clearly indicate this is not a single event, but also do not appear sufficient to support a standalone article.
