I wouldn't consider hit-and-runs etc. as meriting an article either, that's why I said I wasn't sure there was *any* significant events. So you're suggesting the "single event" is her being hired by the foundation?
Yes, it's the only thing that might force us to catalog the appalling events of this person's life in an encyclopedia.
Just being COO of WMF isn't enough to even be considered for a Wikipedia article. Just being involved in a hit and run (etc) isn't enough to even be considered for a Wikipedia article. The two together, however, are clearly enough that people are considering it. That means we can't reduce everything to a single event, since no single event gives the correct conclusion.
I don't think we're in disagreement here. The term "event" is perhaps misleading, and what we're talking about is a conjunction of events. It's the context that matters.
