As per , specifically "''#2 The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role"'', it can be argued that the cult known as NXIVM has reached significant national and international recognition due to '''the abundance of media and documentary coverage implicating Salzman as a central figure in the cult'''.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/12/nyregion/nxivm-nancy-salzman-keith-raniere-charges.html Documented coverage of Salzman's involvement has recently been supported by the documentary series known as ''The Vow (TV series)|The Vow''.https://www.hbo.com/the-vow Salzman created the hypnosis sessions and curricula within ESP (Enterprise Success Programs) that would be rebranded as NXIVM. Salzman was also the only individual with some form of medical license (RN), which introduces the discussion of medical malpractice within the hypnosis schemes that were the core of NXIVM's brainwashing techniques.https://int.nyt.com/data/documenthelper/6731-Nxivm-lawsuit/2de597cdf78faec941b7/optimized/full.pdf While I understand Salzman had a minimal sentence for racketeering compared to Keith Raniere, she was just as guilty for creating the cult that endangered the lives of so many.https://www.justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/founder-nxivm-purported-self-help-organization-and-five-others-charged-superseding Long story short, '''NXIVM would not exist without the unusual criminal mind of Salzman, meriting an article in her own right under point #2 in  under Wikipedia's Notability standards
