– hi Jishara, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for creating this article! I expect this could be a good candidate for DYK, but there are some issues which I think would need to be addressed first. At the moment, the article makes a number of claims which are not sufficiently supported by the sources, including those in the hooks. Namely whether she "led the team behind" Blue Ghost Mission 1; the only source which seems to state this plainly is her entry in the TIME100, which as an award blurb is questionably independent and not a great source. The article also relies heavily on interviews/quotes and includes comments on her motivations in accepting roles, her goals, and the difficulty of her tasks, things which are not really encyclopedic.

Hi Vermont! I've updated the article a bit, removing the difficulty and motivation lines and adding additional sources for the led the team part. Please let me know if there are still more updates needed. Jishara (talk) 03:59, 31 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
