The result was redirect to House Un-American Activities Committee. Not a strong consensus, but it seems closer to what the participants want than a "no consensus" default keep. RL0919 (talk) 13:40, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG. Article with two references, neither of which come close to establishing notability. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 16:00, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment The only coverage for her that I can find is primary sources (government) when she invoked the Fifth Amendment during the House Un-American Activities Committee hearings. It's possible that there might be contemporary newspaper coverage of the hearings that talk about her, but I don't know that this one event is sufficient for WP:GNG.

 * Comment I found some news coverage of her which I added to the article. However, I really can't decide what to do about her. I think maybe redirecting to House Un-American Activities Committee until someone writes a better bio about her. There's a lot of primary sources about her (many which I didn't add since they wouldn't show notability) so I could see that as a future possibility. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:26, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete this is basically one event notability, and that is just not cutting it. Not every piano teacher is notable, and being called before a congressional committee also does not make one notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:38, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Redirect: I would not be against a "Redirect" per User:Megalibrarygirl as a compromise. No bio here and the one inconclusive hearing would not be enough. There may be more secondary sources "out there" but agree with delete if redirect does not find favor. Otr500 (talk) 15:11, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
