Notability

edit

I can't find any sources other than the cited biographical entry, which is very short on detail. Notability requires coverage in multiple independent sources. In addition, I am not sure that being "suggested" for an award amounts to anything much in particular - it doesn't even appear to be a formal nomination. Can anyone expand this? If not, it will surely be deleted. - Sitush (talk) 05:46, 6 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

A couple of other points. I removed Category:Swedish landowners because it seems she was Finnish, although I am aware that Sweden governed the area during her lifetime. I may be wrong with that removal but it seems odd to have someone in two different national categories for the same landholding. Also, I am aware of this. Some would argue that it is equivalent to, say, the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and thus anyone who appears in it is inherently notable. I am sympathetic to that argument but we will still need multiple sources. - Sitush (talk) 06:09, 6 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
