Declined a G4 speedy request because this version includes more substantial sources that are more than just passing mentions. However, this appears to be a case of
WP:ONEEVENT, in that all her notability comes from a single viral drawing. Taking to AfD for more eyes -- I'm a weak delete.

Delete.
WP:ONEEVENT certainly applies. Honestly, I think that G4 probably still applies (but as I'm not privy to the original page, I can't say for certain). The sources aren't anything that wasn't available at the time of the original discussion, and the concerns are the same. I think that G5 will ultimately apply as well, but that investigation is pending.

Keep Subject meets
WP:GNG. Has significant coverage from independent and reliable sources. She was featured on Good Morning America. The only way this wouldn't merit an article is if Good Morning America is fake news. It is not.
Agtx should refrain from randomly nominating articles for deletion. It's a pure waste of good time. Thank you. –

Delete per
WP:BIO1E. We don't include people because they got 15 minutes of fame around one specific thing. Re: the GMA appearance: that's an interview and counts as a primary source, which means it wouldn't be considered when we are assessing under the GNG anyway. Our notability requirements for biographies require that someone show coverage over an extended period of time in secondary sources that are intellectually independent of themselves. We simply don't have it here.

Keep: Enough sources to meet GNG and the interview may be a primary source, but it is an independent third-party coverage as well, so it can be used to assess notability.

Per
WP:SIGCOV, GNG requires secondary sourcing: "Sources" should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. If we accepted primary sources such as interviews as evidence of notability, then every person who appears on GMA would be all but guaranteed a spot, because the major morning shows typically have spotted them on some other program (radio interview, etc.) Most people who appear on Good Morning America are not notable and don't have entries precisely because we require all of the sourcing to be secondary for notability purposes: most US morning shows don't feature notable people.
