This figure is not notable, less than 30 google news results, and she established a very small magazine that has little to no coverage or attention to this day. Her land trust was 147 acres. To put that into context, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy an actually notable land trust has 250,000 acres. ShimonChai ( talk) 17:36, 11 June 2018 (UTC) reply

Comment: The related journal WomanSpirit is also up for deletion here -- Theredproject ( talk) 19:11, 12 June 2018 (UTC) reply
Comment: it seems worth noting that her papers are in the archives of a major university [1] and her NPR affiliate did not one, but two 30m shows to her memory [2] [3] and the local paper published an obituary [4] -- Theredproject ( talk) 19:23, 12 June 2018 (UTC) reply
It's typical for the local paper publish an obituary for people who have little to know notability, it means nothing in terms of notability. ShimonChai ( talk) 19:40, 12 June 2018 (UTC) reply
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Keep. A paid obituary does not establish notability. An article about the subject written by a staff writer of the newspaper does establish notability. Moreover, the radio broadcasts also establish notability. Eastmain ( talkcontribs) 09:05, 19 June 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Keep has substantial coverage in reliable sources such as a women's bio encyclopedia published by the respected academic publisher Routledge as well as other rs books and press, passes WP:GNG Atlantic306 ( talk) 19:08, 19 June 2018 (UTC) reply
plus add that to have ones papers considered important enough to be included as part of a major university (U of Oregon) collection is no small accomplishment. A clear keep. ShelbyMarion ( talk) 14:15, 24 June 2018 (UTC) reply
