re:Proposed speedy deletion

[edit]

I shall remove any speedy notice added to this page, the sources given in the article are sufficient to argue to notability, and I shall add it to my list of articles to be expanded. DuncanHill (talk) 20:52, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would add that the combination of a DBE and an FRS is highly suggestive of notability. DuncanHill (talk) 20:53, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Nobody who has been knighted or made a dame could ever be accused of non-notability. Absolutely ludicrous nomination. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:09, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article is not only too short, but it gives a misleading account of a very impressive life: anyone reading it who knew nothing about her would wonder why she was included. I do not have time now to create a better summary of her career, but until I do, or someone else does, I mention these sources for anyone else who would like to read about a remarkable scientist, an excellent college principal and a very good woman:
