Fails WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO. Most of the sources listed are unavailable online. A search for other sources to support notability was unsuccessful. Magnolia677 (talk) 00:28, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep RS for a subject this old aren't readily available - will err to keep for historical context Cllgbksr (talk) 06:42, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep as more history collections from GLAM institutions are digitized, online sources will be available to help fill out this article. TeriEmbrey (talk) 14:21, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Even with no sources, what is it about this person that makes them notable? Magnolia677 (talk) 20:41, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Article makes reference to coverage subject received by American Magazine for her orphanage, that she was a woman running an orphanage for boys, evidently it wasn't the norm back in the day. Cllgbksr (talk) 00:41, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep I looked through the sources included in the article, and Clarke seems to have gotten coverage in sources ranging several decades. Her time period and common name will make finding sources somewhat difficult, but I do think there are enough sources to meet notability requirements. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 06:05, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Onel 5969  TT me 12:15, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Further Comment The August 16th, 1900 edition of the "Christian Evangelist" contains a decent paragraph with details about the number of orphans Clarke cared for and some rather glowing praise. It can be found here on page 1044 (219 on the Internet Archive). There also seems to be a bit of coverage on newsapers.com, but I don’t have access to the website. Regardless, the books cited in the Wikipedia article contain several pages of coverage each, and there seems to be several media sources covering Clarke. There is enough information to write a substantial article even if we limit ourselves to the known sources, so I think notability requirements have been met.

 * Keep: per Spirit of Eagle. --Guy Macon (talk) 15:12, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
