 * Keep per GNG. According to the many sources I'm finding, Earle appears to be an important figure in the history of Newfoundland. Besides the sources already in the article, there's also coverage in:
 * The Finest Kind: Voices of Newfoundland and Labrador Women by M. White, Creative (1992)
 * Feminist Research: Prospect and Retrospect edited by Peta Tancred-Sheriff, Acumen Publishing (1988)
 * The Oldest City: The Story of St. John's, Newfoundland by Paul O'Neill, Boulder Publications (2003)
 * Pursuing Equality: Historical Perspectives on Women in Newfoundland and Labrador by Linda Kealey, Institute of Social and Economic Research (1993)
 * Newfoundland and Labrador: A History by Sean Cadigan, University of Toronto Press (2017)
 * Newfoundland & Labrador by Lawrence Jackson, Fitzhenry & Whiteside (2002)
 * Discover Canada: Newfoundland and Labrador by Marian Frances White, Grolier (1994)
 * I'll add these to the article in a "Further reading" section so they can be resources for people who want to improve the article. It seems like there's no question that Earle is well-known and well-documented as a notable Newfoundland figure. -- Toughpigs (talk) 04:47, 12 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Strong keep. The idea that figures involved in community activism need to hold political office, particularly in this era where very few women held elected office but many women played significant roles in political and social life, is a nonsense. She passes WP:GNG by a mile. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 09:29, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Strong keep I agree with the above two posters. She has received significant coverage in multiple independent and reliable sources (including at least three different university presses). She was a labor/union leader and a pioneer of women's rights. Perhaps a sentence or two should be added to the very beginning of the article to highlight her significance and contributions, but she was notable and easily passes WP:SIGCOV.

 * Keep Wikipedia has guidelines for notability and references for a reason. Although areas like activism, social movements and women's rights are often devalued, following these guidelines helps to ensure that notable individuals aren't excluded on the basis of personal bias. On that note, the article fortunately has a lot of room for improvement.IphisOfCrete (talk) 16:45, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
