The result was keep. As noted on WP:N a topic can be considered notable if it meets GNG (which nobody is claiming here) or one of the subject-specific guidelines that include NACADEMIC; it's also not clear what "the article is poor in taste" refers to nor why it would require deletion. I know that some people advocate deletion of GNG-noncompliant articles even when they meet some other notability guideline and that this practice is often applied in AFD closes, but here I am not seeing anyone explicitly advocating for this.

not that notable. Ozar77 (talk) 17:16, 28 July 2019 (UTC) Allyson Lawless was included in the Wikiproject Women in Red redlist index. Being an international fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering is notable. AllyCAD is well known as a low cost CAD option for engineers. Yes, the article needs more work. Searching her name on Google provides many sources that I need to dig through for quality before using them in the article. --Madds212 (talk) 17:43, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Leaning keep per Madds212. bd2412  T 01:34, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. She meets WP:ANYBIO criteria #1 as a South African engineer elected an international fellow of Britain's Royal Academy of Engineering. StarryGrandma (talk) 13:46, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete the article is poor in taste and fails to satisfy WP:GNG. -- Harshil  want to talk? 10:49, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Definitely notable and meets WP:NACADEMIC #3 "The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association - Royal_Academy_of_Engineering states: "Honorary and International Fellows who have made exceptional contributions to engineering are also elected". I do not see deletion rationales here - WP:Not notable is in WP:ATADD, and "poor in taste" is close to WP:IDLI. RebeccaGreen (talk) 18:40, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
