Nice little resume there, but with nary a Google hit and zero Google Scholar hits, it seems she can wait a bit before earning a berth here. Biruitorul Talk 03:43, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep co-editor of a major Yale series is sufficient for notability. I assume they know what they are doing and are better qualified to judge than we are. DGG (talk) 04:05, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * You really think that's enough for notability if there isn't a single source? Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 04:15, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The editorship and authorship can be verified from WorldCat, and that is sufficient for notability--but changed to Weak keep. .DGG (talk) 06:18, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * You are saying that who, exactly, has "judged" that she is notable? Yale? 98.122.44.244 (talk) 14:24, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. Probably meets WP:PROF criterion #1 (significant impact in scholarly discipline, broadly construed). Arguably meets WP:PROF criterion #8 (editor-in-chief of established journal), although I am not sure that the Ohio History is that type of journal envisioned by criterion #8. Her book Artisan workers in the Upper South, in a very specialized area, is in 102 libraries worldwide according to WorldCat.--Eric Yurken (talk) 01:23, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand--Meets criteria # 8 of WP:PROF: "Ohio History" is an academic peer-reviewed journal, published by Kent State University 1. --Jmundo (talk) 02:49, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * "Expand" using what sources? 98.122.44.244 (talk) 15:21, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
