Talk:Emma G. Cummings

Hi, I wanted to contribute to the conversation regarding deleting this article. I know the page is currently short, but this is a hugely important woman who influenced horticulture and tree planting in the Boston area of the US, and even has a memorial plaque celebrating her. I want to continue adding to and building this page and I don't feel it should be deleted because it does meets with the notability criteria of Wikipedia. She was an author, she made great contributions to the Boston area and was well known and recognized in her time. The article is limited because I'm still fact checking lots of information before adding it to ensure I have good references. We should be actively increasing the number of notable women on Wikipedia to adjust the gender imbalance, and this woman was recommended by Wikipedia's Women In Red as being notable and missing an article, and so this is why i created it.

I hope that explains why this article should not be deleted. Please let me know if you want to discuss. Geneticcuckoo (talk) 10:10, 15 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Where did you get her dates of birth and death from? She appears to have been a member of Brookline's tree planting committee and published a book after her death. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:25, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
