Fails WP:BIO. Being quoted in passing on a bunch of Christian websites and speaking at a conference doth not notability make. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 11:02, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep There is way more to this woman than just passing mentions in Christian websites. Please do WP:BEFORE. She is respected,  testified before congress and yes, as a Christian she does show up in Christian journals, which is to be expected.  Passes GNG. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 03:50, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Being "respected" is not an explanation for why she somehow manages to pass WP:BIO, nor is testifying before Congress. Tons of non-notable people testify before Congress. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk)
 * It is important, actually. Did you look at any of the resources I found? She was called in to testify because she is considered an expert on the topic by Congress. That leads to notability. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 14:44, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I forgot to add that she's also written about significantly in several RS, so she passes GNG. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 14:49, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep I could not figure out how this article got here until I looked at its history and realized that Megalibrarygirl had improved the article enormously! Definitely passes GNC. --MurderByDeadcopy"bang!" 02:34, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Well written and well referenced article on an important and notable person. Martinogk (talk) 09:13, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as non notable activist, Sources are pretty crap and I'm finding nothing but mentions, Some activists are notable and some like this BLP aren't. – Davey 2010 Talk 00:47, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
