Opinion on inclusion for notable alumni

I have tried to include 2016 grad Nelly Cheboi as a notable alumna given her recent win of the CNN Hero of the Year award for 2022 for her nonprofit work with founding TechLit Africa. User Magnolia677 has removed this inclusion arguing that Nelly is not a notable person as per Wikipedia's definition. I would argue that she is valid for inclusion under "Creative professionals" rule 4.c. -- Nelly's nonprofit work has won "significant critical attention" with the recent nomination and win at CNN's 2022 Hero of the Year event. As per the "Additional criteria" section, "Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included." The threshold for inclusion as a notable alumna seems reasonable in my opinion. She is an alumna who has gone on to do nationally and internationally recognized work. Other thoughts?
