Thanks for your patience last night as I (suppose I) gave you a crash course in Wikipedia article creation and sourcing of claims for notability. I hoped that you would understand the spirit of my nagging edit summaries and reversions, and you seem to have done; with the result, I think, that the article will survive. It is, quite intentionally, not easy to create a new biographical article here, especially in mainspace (versus draft in userspace or the articles for creation process) and have it survive an initial review; if it was easy, everyone would have one, and none would be trustworthy.

One thing that still bothers me (though not specifically about the article here, because we corrected it) is that the subject claims in many of her online biographical sketches, seemingly self-authored, that she was "named one of the 'People of the Year' by Style Magazine" in 2013. In addition to the publication actually being named Style Weekly and a local alternative newspaper rather than a magazine, this is a real stretch. She only appears in the caption of a photograph accompanying the cover story which concerns the nomination of a whole class of people (the participants in the Virginia protest) by the newspaper staff for the title of "Richmonders of the Year". The claim she makes (elsewhere) is misleading and, I think, tends to breed suspicion on the part of anyone who looks into it that she is in fact not as notable as she would like us to think. If you are or know the subject, I would ask you to suggest to her that she rethink and recast this claim, as we have needed to do here in order to meet Wikipedia's standards.

Happy editing! Dwpaul ^Talk 15:41, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your help! I added a few things today, and I think they are the types of things that you want (list of radio episodes, additional proof of W&M attendance in a yearbook, etc.) Shannon has changed her biographies online to read "named among the “Richmonders of the Year” in 2012 by Style Weekly Magazine.
