For added bonus, the "references" here are a press release from the spelling bee's organizers, and a deadlink of a single news article. Agreed that this is a
WP:BLP1E — there's no discernible reason why she'd still be a topic that people are actually still looking for almost a decade later, and the referencing is not strong enough to get her over
WP:GNG. Admittedly a consensus was once established that winners of national spelling bees were eligible for Wikipedia articles — but BLP1E didn't exist yet when that happened, and given that evolution in our policies I'm not seeing how it could possibly survive the collision with BLP1E as things stand now. Delete.
