• Keep meets WP:GNG which does not specify that the media has to be 'national', also 'major' is a subjective term, Sarcasm alert, yes the newspaper is only a 'local' one, serving that small town on the eastern seaboard of the US New York :) Coolabahapple ( talk) 02:13, 30 March 2015 (UTC) reply

• Delete for failing WP:BIO and WP:GNG. She put the "active" in activist, but not at a high enough level to merit an article. Wikipedia is not a memorial. Clarityfiend ( talk) 05:34, 31 March 2015 (UTC) reply
• Nothing here particularly demonstrates that the topic merits a permanent article in an international encyclopedia — and the volume of sourcing isn't nearly enough to claim that she satisfies WP:GNG. Coolabahapple is right that nothing in GNG specifically requires the media to be national rather than local, but there has to be a lot more of it than this — if two articles in a local community weekly newspaper were all it took to satisfy GNG, we'd have to keep an article about every person who ever organized a church bake sale or served on a PTA.

• delete Clearly beloved by her neighborhood, the obituary her Congressman read into the Congressional Record says only that she was active in the church, in her neighborhood, and that she was much loved. Couldn't access Amsterdam News obit online. Can find no coverage during her lifetime. E.M.Gregory ( talk) 20:11, 7 April 2015 (UTC) reply
