This person is only notable due to her connection with Chris Kyle, her husband, who was the subject of the recent movie American Sniper. Notability is not inherited, and I don't think she has any independent notability. This article should either be deleted, or redirected to Chris Kyle.

Strong Keep this person has earned status on her own merit, she is an author, a speaker, involved with a very popular and successful movie, has created a foundation, and has appeared widely in the media. Her husband is deceased, she as his wife is not, and will continue to do things in his honor of him that are of note, therefor she needs her own page.

• Keep. I think she meets the notability guidelines in her own right based on her activities as an author/activist/spokeswoman. Kelly ^hi! 10:24, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Wikipedia is not paper. Notability is asserted in her own right with reputable sources. Keep. § DDima 19:39, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - the person will clearly remain in the public attention and her career as an activist has just started. --Eurocopter (talk) 20:41, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as notable activist. –Davey2010^Talk 21:00, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - This is the wife of an American hero....nuf said. there is a lot of garbage out there . As her husband served this great country so did she. Leave it be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.65.192.1 (talk • contribs) 20:03, 27 January 2015‎

• I've moved the IPs comment from the talkpage to here. –Davey2010^Talk 19:11, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete because her notariety is only in connection with her husband Chris Kyle. Association with a celebrity does not grant the same status. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bioartmaven (talk • contribs) 02:23, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• the things Taya has done since her husband's death are what make her notable and as someone said above she is just beginning her time in the spotlight. HesioneHushabye (talk) 10:01, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Provided there is the coverage (per GNG) I'll support the first bit of your statement but "she is just beginning her time in the spotlight" is speculative and should not be a basis for establishing notability. GraemeLeggett (talk) 10:10, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
