Fails WP:SIGCOV. Obviously a very accomplished woman, but unfortunately I was unable to locate any independent RS from a reliable publisher. Tulsa Ballet's blog is a self published source and the ABT is her employer. Everything I could find only mentioned her in passing.4meter4 (talk) 01:08, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

- Keep I found multiple articles covering Raffa's work in reliable sources, including the New York Times[1] and the Boston Globe.[2] This story in a Kentucky newspaper is additional coverage.[3] I put these citations, and more, into the article. DaffodilOcean (talk) 07:28, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
- Withdrawing and speedy keep. @ DaffodilOcean You are a gem. Thank you so much for these and improving the article.4meter4 (talk) 08:31, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

- Keep though that's probably not necessary now that the nominator has withdrawn it. As she was a principal dancer with Ballet de Santiago and Ballet National Francaise, I would expect to find coverage in Chile in Spanish and in France in French. I'll see what I can find.
