Mary Louise Smith certainly is notable enough to be included in wikipedia with her own page. Wikipedia defines notable, or worthy of being apart of this encyclopedia, as having significant 3rd party material covered on her. Smith, who worked her way up the political ladder from Republican National Committeewoman from Iowa to becoming the first female Republican National Committee chair appointed by President Ford himself, deserves her position in an encyclopedia for this information alone (Iowa Womens Archives, Mary Louise Smith Papers). However, Smith didn't stop there. She also served in many different but prominent positions including vice chair of the United States Commission on Civil Rights, the board of directors of the National Peace Institute, and the board of directors of Planned Parenthood (Iowa Womens Archives, Mary Louise Smith Papers). On top of everything else, she was also a cofounder of the Louse Noun-Mary Louise Smith Womens Archives and was named to the Iowa Womens Hall of Fame (Iowa Womens Archives, Mary Louise Smith Papers).
