Overall: 
The sources used look self-published or at a minimum least defer editorial control to Tonia Ko on these pages. Uncertain if they meet the criteria of WP:RS or if because there are otherwise no issues with the article they are usable by WP:ABOUTSELF. I checked the major sources and didn't find anything that could be construed as close paraphrasing; besides the few things that couldn't easily be said any other way ("born in Hong Kong and raised in Honolulu"). I brought up issue with the provenance of sources but if this is not an issue please forgive me as I am very new to DYK. I have no other comments. Reconrabbit 19:19, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Reconrabbit: As a frequent creator of academic biographies, I'm pretty sure the sources in question are reliable for basic facts (her own site included) and I don't think there are any ABOUTSELF issues, especially when the affiliated institutions are non-profits (especially the educational ones). Further, I added more secondary sources to be safe. ミラP@Miraclepine 18:05, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Miraclepine: I wasn't aware of the nonprofit situation. Overall it looks like a fine hook and the basis for the statement isn't disputed. The addition of secondary sources is of course appreciated. I support this nomination. Reconrabbit 18:28, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
