Delete. Guideline given by
user:Schwede66 a proposed guideline - unto itself this is not a reason to delete the article, but still not sufficient grounds to connote notability. I found a
biography on terra.govt.nz, but if we go with standard
WP:BIO this still becomes a primary source. We need more sources to establish notability and a quick Google search turned up nothing. --

Keep this woman was a full professor at a large reputable university. She has
an entire hall of residence named after her. She was notable (and extensively talked about) for being New Zealand's first female prof. She has a common name and her professional feats were performed before the internet age, that doesn't make her non-notable. See also refs listed in
INNZ.

Comment Joan Stevens's [ viaf record] is broken (bad merge with US architect of the same name, reported at
Wikipedia:VIAF/errors).

Keep That we keep everyone included in their country's major reference work is not a failed guideline, it's one of the basic principles of inclusion in Wikipedia. that said, it does not help WP writing articles quite as sketchy as this, and expecting someone else to do the work. DGG (

Keep. We have two pieces of evidence for notability that arguably are each enough for notability by themselves: DNZB, and CBE (note not OBE or MBE, which probably wouldn't be enough; see e.g.
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yasmin Bevan). Put the two together and she's clearly notable. —
