Talk:Alexandra Tillson Filer

Is she really notable
As best I can tell we have a local article on her being the first woman in a particular course at Pennsylvania State University. The first woman to graduate in X major at Y university is not enough to show notability. Everything else is about other people, or primary sources, or marriage announcements in a paper. None of this adds up to the level of coverage on Filer to show that she is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:48, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Difficult to measure as there is such little interest in metallurgists full stop, but a search on Google books and scholar would suggest she is notable. Though I agree that the article itself covers too much trivia. Annoyingly, she died on January 4, 2015 (aged 98) according to her family tree on Ancestry, but no reliable source exists to add this to her page, and because she was confirmed as alive within the last 10 years (2014), we have to wait until 2024 to remove her from the living people category unless someone can whip up a source to confirm her death. --Jkaharper (talk) 17:53, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
