 * Delete, no sources provided, and I'm not convinced of her notability. Lankiveil 02:17, 26 May 2007 (UTC).
 * Delete per nom. No web hits, and no sources given.-- - =Elfin= - 341 02:19, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't think she meets the notability threshold, no sources cited. Possible self-promotion issues, too, check out Special:Contributions/Okbu, Special:Contributions/Tiddled, and Mark Brister, another administrator at OBU. --Akhilleus (talk) 02:40, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete: it may be continuing the systematic bias from academia into Wikipedia, but generally, professors of teaching aren't notable because they don't generate verifiable sources such as publications which create notability beyond their local community. We're even harder on college administrators, so her position in that role is even less likely to be notable.  Possible copyright violations from, and shows errors in the article  -- joined faculty in 1980, not named professor at that date.  etc. -- Myke Cuthbert (talk) 02:47, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Very weak keep, the bio on the OBU website gives sufficient notability, and that bio should be considered reliable unless shown otherwise. John Vandenberg 03:31, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless references as indicated above are added to verify notability. JJL 21:17, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete she is not notable as an academic--a professor of mathematics without a research doctorate. Is she notable as an academic administrator? She is Dean & Senior VP of the college at a extremely small college (enrollment 345). Since the class ratio is 15:1, that=23 faculty in all--the university page lists 10 administrators. The Senior VP for academic affairs (usually=provost) at a major university would almost always be notable--usually be a very important academic with a distinguished record. Not DCB. Personally, I';d be willing to count the president  of any college as notable, but I doubt many would agree. DGG 02:05, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per commenters above, no non-trivial sources to speak of, the article is failing WP:BLP at present. Yamaguchi先生 07:19, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
