Hattie Harlow

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This diarist doesn't seem to satisfy WP:BIO. The sole source is dead, and I wasn't able to find anything in the Harvard University Library program under her name. There's one sparse paragraph about her in The Encyclopedia of Scrapbooking Tools & Techniques. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:16, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete: "Though not famous, Harlow's diaries and scrapbooks are a rich historical resource for people conducting research on women working and living in the domestic sphere during the nineteenth century." As may be, but in the twelve years since the anon IP who "created" this article set that forth, it's not only unimproved, but no one's suggested how that qualifies the subject for a Wikipedia article.

 * Delete. Agree. Would add that there are no sources and that article is an orphan. We were more lenient with this sort of thing in the early days, but it clearly fails modern inclusion criteria. Agricola44 (talk) 17:11, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete I am sympathetic to showing diarists as notable, but nothing suggests that Harlow is.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:10, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
