Fails WP:GNG, not notable as an executive. The LA Mag piece is a short interview in a local publication, and Lioness Magazine is not sufficient on its own to establish significant coverage. The rest of the coverage is limited to brief/routine mentions or local interviews lacking much depth Mooonswimmer 23:09, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi everyone, I really appreciate the opportunity to explain why I think Tara Roth deserves inclusion. It has been a while since I submitted anything to Wikipedia, and I apologize if I not hitting all the right notes! Previously, the goal was to add more profiles of prominent women in athletics, because of the reporting on the male-female imbalance in profiles. Now, I thought about doing the same for prominent female civic leaders.

Regarding the LA Mag piece that Mooonswimmer mentions -- at the time it was written, that was an important publication. Tara has also been interviewed multiple times by the Los Angeles Times, the leading periodical in one of the world's top metropolises. I included two of those links in the references. She has also been interviewed by various other outlets including Spectrum News 1, considered LA's best TV news station, (I included the link), and KCRW, which I think it is reasonable to consider one of the two top public media outlets on the west coast, and Inside Philanthropy, which is considered the first or second (along with Chronicle of Philanthropy) philanthropy-focused publications in the USA. And, I think crucially, the Los Angeles Business Journal - a business-centric publication but important and widely read in the region - named Tara Roth as one of the 20 most influential civic leaders in Los Angeles, and one of the 500 most influential people in Los Angeles.

Also, what is Lioness Magazine? It was mentioned earlier in the discussion, but I don't see it mentioned in the profile, and I know that I am not familiar with it either, so on that point, I certainly agree. Johano27109 (talk) 23:23, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Holding the position of president within an organization does not adequately fulfill the criteria for notability. As per my assessment, I concur that she is a non-notable executive. Fails WP:NBIO. B-Factor 04:39, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
