This is one of a group of ancestral sketches previously listed for deletion at Articles_for_deletion/William_Staniforth which was declined because many voters were opposed to the bulk nature of the listing. The subject is not notable and there is an absence of independent, reliable, significant coverage.  Uninvited Company 21:50, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Wrote two family/local memoirs. I don't see how she passes GNG, and per my BEFORE the books don't seem to pass NBOOK - other wise I would suggest re-purposing this. Icewhiz (talk) 16:32, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep her local histories were used by others and are still used today, which indicates a level of influence that meets GNG. MurielMary (talk) 09:41, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep as noted above, workings are references by other authors, definitely influential in the field of local and wider history.StaniforthHistorian (talk) 13:59, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep Staniforthiana is referenced on p. 64 of 'Britain's History and Memory of Transatlantic Slavery: Local Nuances of a 'National Sin', and heck, Wikipedia uses her book as a reliable source for Darnall Hall. I also found a heraldry book that discusses her and her family members individually, as well as other mentions in other works. LovelyLillith (talk) 05:46, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Weak keep - Her death was noted in as a notable event of the year in the regional paper, The Royal Cornwall Gazette ( - note the paper isn't included at newspapers.com for the month of her death, so I couldn't search for an obit) as was a prize she won for her needlework in 1883 . She seems encyclopedic to me. Smmurphy(Talk) 22:36, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
