It appears to possibly be a non-notable journalist, the Squawk Box article doesn't list her and Google News searches along with Google Books don't provide anything. What troubles this article is that it was created and heavily edited by the subjects themselves, I don't see any improvement. Any comments? SwisterTwister talk 06:13, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. "Senior Talent Producer" apparently means "booker" [1] (i.e. lining up guests), and being one for an early morning CNBC show isn't going to satisfy WP:GNG. Clarityfiend ( talk) 06:41, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

- keep this self-promoting article. It's a common problem, Been tagged for years but attracts no editors. And yet her books have generated articles, even a profile in a local paper. [2] enough stuff out there to pass GNG. I went to make sure she was linked to her hometown, her sorority, her college - sometimes editors improve articles on home town girls. This one grew up in a suburb so faceless that the high school doesn't even have a WP page. I have sourced on AFDs of scoundrels; interesting scoundrels like Richard K. Diran and even horror novelists Tamara Thorne - it can be fun. But LaRocca sounds so dull I don't wanna read about her. I'm not sure the article is even interesting enough to blow up. I guess we just have to live with it. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 00:08, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
- Keep Her role in a nationally broadcast television program, her authorship of multiple published books and her coverage in reliable media establish notability. I have edited the article, which still needs work, but that's not a justification for deletion. Alansohn ( talk) 14:28, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

- @ DGG: Would you care to comment? SwisterTwister talk 05:05, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- Delete Due to lack of significant sources and notability. May be a broadcaster but seems to fall somewhere outside of encyclopedic unless more information can be provided. Kemosakeyouknow ( talk) 01:26, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
- Delete The only element of notability is one significant book, Thriving in the new economy : lessons from today's top business minds , which is in 975 libraries, a/c WorldCat [3]. The other two books are in less than 20 libraries each. The overall career is not yet notable. A "profile in her local paper" is the weakest of evidence, especially for an author. Local papers profile everyone in the area who has written a book. E.M.Gregory is correct that there isn't enough material. Multiple published books can bring notability, but not when all but one of them are almost totally unnoticed. DGG ( talk ) 14:29, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- Delete. Does not meet WP:BIO. -- Inother ( talk) 17:27, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- Delete per DGG. I also note that, since almost none of her biography is sourcable, we'd be left with less than a stub. Bearian ( talk) 13:53, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
