Article relies too much on primary sources and there's not a single coverage of her from independent sources (i.e nonreligious publications) that could establish her notability. Slightlymad 03:18, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete As above - not many ghits. Doesn't seem notable.Deathlibrarian (talk) 03:41, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep I added a Media section to the article outlining some of her contributions. She has been someone the media has consistently consulted for many years.  GeorgeofOrange (talk) 01:45, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Frederica Mathewes-Green has been a leading writer in the national forum, on topics related to Eastern Orthodox belief and practice for many years. AmityNook (talk) 02:09, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep: Article could be improved some more (maybe trimmed?), but she does have coverage in independent sources and meets WP:GNG, so I think the case for keeping is sufficiently met. --1990&#39;sguy (talk) 23:42, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Of those 3 sources, I cannot open the first, which is in the group blog Patheos, but the 2nd is letter-to-the-editor referencing an article written by Mathewes-Green; and the 3rd is a book that quotes something she once wrote.  None of these supports notability.  At this point, I'm not seeing notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:55, 13 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep. as an author. Most of the remainder of the article is fluff, especially the media section, and if the article is kept, I will remove it.  DGG ( talk ) 21:17, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
