Emma Lucretia Dobbin

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No independent notability, a family member of some notable people. The only thing she is "remembered" for is stealing a dagger, an anecdote of very limited notability in itself, and not enough to base an article on. Fails WP:BIO. Fram (talk) 11:08, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. I've added some references to her writing career and I suspect there may be quite a bit more out there in offline sources and biographies of Sheridan Le Fanu. Agree the dagger anecdote is very weak. Article should probably be renamed Emma Le Fanu. Tacyarg (talk) 13:40, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, WP:NBIO, WP:NOTINHERITED and WP:NOTMEMORIAL. In general this seems suited to Ancestry.com or Thepeerage.com or similar platform - which cover peers and other people who are notable primarily for their relations or associations than on their own merits. The proposed "secondary" notability claim (writer) does not seem to meet the threshold expected of WP:AUTHOR (in that her works do not seem to have been broadly published, significantly impactful, or otherwise represent "a significant or well-known work or collective body of work".) The references/links in the article are largely passing/trivial mentions than significant discussions on the author or her works. Guliolopez (talk) 14:19, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
