Comment: Some notes on sourcing for notability - The obit appears to have been written by a member of the family or someone closely related to her and thus does not demonstrate notability. The "papers" source appears to give some good information, but its establishment of notability is questionable; I don't know if we have a guideline on that sort of thing, but it comes close to being a sort of "database entry" about her (which would not show notability). The other source, "A Land Legacy With Feelings", appears to demonstrate some notability (professional author with the paper), but the content's reason for inclusion in the paper is unclear. You best bet will be finding more sources that help to fulfill the notability guideline for people. Let me know if you have any questions on my talk page. AviationFreak💬 01:07, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
