The article covers a historically important contributor to architecture in the United States. Emily Williams is important as she was one of the very first female architects to work in Northern California. The article can be expanded and further referenced as time permits. Furthermore Emily Williams has been a red link in the List of female architects together with some 40 other pioneering American architects about whom we are trying to write articles. - Ipigott (talk) 18:06, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because it is about a pioneering woman architect in Northern California. It forms part of a series we are writing about the history of women architects in connection with Women's Month. Many similar articles can be accessed from the List of female architects, especially the United States section. &mdash; Ipigott (talk) 18:29, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

It doesn't mention any reason as to why the subject is important, so I nominated it for deletion. You should explain why Emily is a notable personality in architecture, all I got from the article was that she was a fairly successful female architect for her time. Is she a recognised pioneer for female architects who followed her? if so, mention it. (I know I already replied to you on my Talk page, just putting this here for good show) Aunty-S (talk) 19:38, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because it clearly says that Williams was a "pioneering" architect who, by dint of being a woman in the construction industry in the 1900's, "became a tourist attraction". This is a definite claim of notability, therefore A7 does not apply &mdash; Sionk (talk) 19:45, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

NRHP-listed Arthur Monroe Free House
Hi to past editors here, including User:Ipigott and User:Sionk. I was given notice of change by User:Hanno38's edits of this article for some reason, and I found it mentions a listed building in San Francisco which she reportedly designed, but which was not linked. Then i looked up what it might be, and found National Register of Historic Places-listed Arthur Monroe Free House (an article which I just created). The NRHP listing is about a house in San Jose, not San Francisco, but at the same house number and street address. Details about the house and the mention of San Jose newspaper suggests that this article should be revised to change "San Francisco" to "San Jose". But the NRHP nomination document now linked from the house article does not mention her. It doesn't name any other architect for the house, though. I'm not sure what should be done here. -- do ncr  am  03:22, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
