Talk:Anna Elisabeth Baer

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because this article was specifically asked for in the WikiProject Women's History/Requested articles. Also there are many more sources on her if you know Finnish or Swedish. I will try to improve the sources if I can. --JaneSwifty (talk) 16:49, 14 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm not questioning the sources, but I only speak English. I truly don't understand why she was notable. Was running a business after one's husband died a rare thing in Finland in the 18th century? Was she particularly wealthy when compared to other women of the time? Were the letters she wrote to the Collegium on important topics, or did they have important results? Please just add a bit to the article explaining why she was important, and I'll withdraw the tag. Thanks. ubiquity (talk) 17:07, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
 * It is true, that the article should describe why she was notable more clearly. However, she is in the National Biography of Finland, and any person in a National Biographic Encyclopedia should surely be regarded notable. --Aciram (talk) 23:09, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
