It has sat unmolested because you wrote a good bio about a computer security professional. It's difficult for a random Wikipedia denzien to quickly reach the conclusion that Ms. Davidson isn't notable enough. She's works for a powerful, well-known company, and is notable enough that she was asked to testify before Congress on a topic.
Wikipedia gets fuzzy when you step outside the basics. Is comprehensive list of "Two and a Half Men" episodes from 2003 notable? Are the results and player profiles of the 1959 NBA draft worthy? A stub article about a village in rural Poland?
In those cases, the answer is "yes", because there is a constituency for NBA fans and TV fans. When you step outside these types of topics, you are stepping off of a cliff, and wikipedians will capriciously and relentlessly enforce whatever rules they deem important.
From experience on HN: articles about specific living people are the hardest to support. The site has a specific policy (WP:BLP) that raises the sourcing standards for articles about living people.
But I didn't have to do anything to keep my article on the site. All I did was (a) write a clear statement of why the topic was notable, and (b) cite sources. That is not a difficult pair of rules to remember.
But if you believe the prevailing sentiment on HN about how WP and "deletionism" works, it should have been extremely difficult for me to keep Mary Ann Davidson on WP. I should have been in multiple AfD debates defending the article. Instead, I wrote it, walked away, and 5 years later there it stands.
More often than not, what's actually happening in specific deletion freakouts is, the article in question cites no sources, and makes no claim about why the subject is notable.
