A subject that does not meet WP:BASIC. Coverage found in searches for additional independent, reliable sources is limited to name checks and short passing mentions. The sole source in the article is a tertiary source that provides some coverage (link), but not finding much else. Qualification for an article is reliant upon having received significant coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources, but said coverage in multiple sources does not appear to exist.

 *  Merge  to husband's page, United States Senator Elbert D. Thomas, or possibly keep. Obit in the Washington Post, shorter one in the Hartford Courant, presumably from a wire service.  The thing that makes me wonder about keeping is that her kept diaries and papers were given to an archive and they have gotten some recent attention because they were involved in Nazi Germany and Holocaust rescue work.

 * Merge to her husband: she did little of note independent of him. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:35, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep she was a top leader of the primary which makes her notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:34, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment – There is no default notability for members or leaders of the LDS Primary Association whatsoever, and no guideline page states such. Sorry, but the personal, made-up notability standards stated above are not aligned with actual notability on Wikipedia at all. North America1000 11:13, 24 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep We have significant coverage of her over time. She was in a biographical dictionary of important LDS people and her obituary was printed around the country. She was apparently also the most traveled LDS woman at the time (before 1913). Passes GNG. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 04:05, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Forgot to mention that I added sources to the article. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 04:07, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
