 * Weak Keep, overall has done enough with notable coverage for an article per GNG. With that said, not a strong contender for a stand alone article. Kierzek (talk) 22:29, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - A Milestone for Women This article has been thoroughly researched and sourced. This woman lived in the shadows of men, yet rose to take the reins of the highly prestigious Explorers Club.  The significance is perhaps lost on men, but not on women.  As the author, and a woman, and someone who is not a feminist, I would suggest that Wikipedia is poorer for deleting such an article.  A quick search of Wikipedia reveals a number of biographic entries of male "explorers' with much less noteworthiness. Considering "Notes" above I am curious as a new author -- Are the postings to other deletion discussions the best ones for this subject?

 * Keep Comment - Recommendation Context for the Faanya Rose article would come from a robust The Explorers Club article, an entry that requires attention. Given the helpful input from knowledgeable Wikipedians on Faanya Rose, I am considering a focused effort on The Explorers Club. Lynda Roy (talk) 00:44, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep there are enough sources out there for the article to pass GNG. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:37, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep notable. Good sources. Provides historical insight previously not available Laceyflint (talk) 16:38, 31 May 2016 (UTC) — Laceyflint (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep Reasonable sourcing; fulfills WP:GNG requirements if nothing else. Muffled Pocketed 
 * Keep Reading through the article and sources provided in the article it would appear that the subject does pass WP:GNG. RickinBaltimore (talk) 13:06, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - presidents of the Explorers Club appear to be inherently notable, and she was verifiably both the first female and first British president. Ivanvector (talk) 13:10, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
 * At first glance, Keep — appears to have ongoing coverage in a variety of reliable sources. Goldenshimmer (talk) 16:51, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. but remove material about the accomplishments of other members of her family and other material relevant to a personal web site, but not to an encyclopedia . DGG ( talk ) 19:49, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - in the case of women of this era, accomplishments of family are key to grooming to compete successfully in the business and social spheres. This individual had really no real college or apprenticeships to prepare her for roles as an executive or a nonprofit leader except those close relationships to the success of father and husband.  As she herself has said (one of the footnotes) people today do not understand that the point was to get married. Regarding personal website, once this person dies, if not recorded here I am thinking, these relationships will be lost, and with them the context of her achievements.
