No claim of notability other than being the wife of a 19th-century railroad magnate; no Ghits except Wikipedia mirrors. NawlinWiki 18:15, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing in this article indicates she has done anything notable or meets WP:BIO. Being married to a notable person does not necessarily convey notability. However, I would not hold the lack of Ghits against this article. The web isn't necessarily the best source of information for things historical, and the article itself indicates there are hard-copy sources available. Agent 86 18:58, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, as she was a debutante in her time, and thus might meet WP:LOCAL. --  Zanimum 20:14, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Change my vote to keep, I didn't even see the namesake towns part, until GarrieIrons mentioned. --  Zanimum 14:28, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment If you follow through to the articles on the towns, they were named after her husband, not after her. GRBerry 02:41, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - if the lead section is implying that the towns were named after her, under WP:LOCAL Garrie 02:20, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as there is no evidence that she had any notability on her own. Being a debutante merely indicates that one's father had a certain degree of wealth, not that she was anything special.  This page looks like a major violation of WP:NOT, point 2, "Genealogical entries".  There is no evidence that she meets WP:BIO.  GRBerry 02:41, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
