The subject of this biography has no discernible personal notability, just a subservient kind linked solely to another notable person. Being a "muse" is not a notable occupation - other than that, her achievements are few in order to meet the criteria.

Strong keep. No achievements are required to demonstrate notability: we look for significant coverage in reliable sources. She's famous for her association with Gabriel Garcia Marquez, but there's plenty of coverage demonstrating her notability. The New York Times and The Times (among many others) wrote extensive obituaries
[1][2] on her death last month which practically satisfy
WP:GNG on their own.

Keep per
pburka. The Associated Press also ran an obituary
[3] that we can add to the pile. (I didn't learn until today that her husband was only able to finish One Hundred Years of Solitude because she "persuaded their landlord in Mexico City to let the rent slide for seven months"
[4].)

Keep. Notability established by reliable sources.

Keep per identified sources; we don't judge notability based on our opinion of the importance of their role. —

Keep - What an incredibly strong woman. There is nothing "subservient" about her that I can see. The very fact that she had such a profound impact upon her husband which allowed and encouraged him to win the Nobel Peace Prize is amazing. As stated above, her obituary made it in the Associated Press which we can all agree is a reliable source of notability. She passes the necessary requirements and I would love to see the article further expanded.

Keep all information in the article is verifiable to reliable sources and explains why she is notable. It might be short on quantity, but that would be a discussion of whether to merge or expand. I'd like to see it expanded if possible.
