 * Speedy keep. I'm pretty much speechless that this would be nominated. Even a cursory glance at Google News, for example, shows that WP:BEFORE has not been followed. I would suggest the nominator withdraws. StAnselm (talk) 00:36, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep -- UNiversities do not give out honorary doctorate to just any one. She has SEVEN of them.  This clearly shows that seven universities considered her very notable.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:08, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep Let's see, the first Google result is PBS Newsweekly interview that opens with the following sentence:  One of the longest surviving quadriplegics on record, she led an international Christian ministry for people with disabilities. She was also a popular speaker, bestselling author, and acclaimed artist.  Aside from the bestselling aspect, WP:ANYBIO suggests significant awards in which she seems to have a myriad, but it seems there's a ton of coverage for winning the Wilberforce Award. She appears to be a regular contributor to the Huffington Post. Also, the Christian Post wrote a focus article about her in which also mentions she was inducted into the National Religious Broadcasters' Hall of Fame. I would like to note these were my top four search results; evident WP:BEFORE not given due time. Mkdw talk 22:06, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
