 * Keep. I would encourage AFD nominators to use plain English rather than cryptic "Lacks sustained WP:SIGCOV .. Falls into WP:BIO1E", etc. I challenge both reasons. From a few-second search through Google books, I get two top hits, which are two recent books published by UBC Press. Both have a chapter on Linda Douma, claiming that her win of Miss Canada and her activities afterwards were significant contributions to the Canadian pageant title and the feminism movement.

 * Keep - Shoutout to for finding these sources. This type of sustained coverage from reliable sources proves the long-term impact she had. If this is the kind of coverage she has received just in the past three years, I can only imagine how much there is overall, especially in contemporary sources. Of course, this was all already laid out in the first nomination not even one year ago. JTtheOG (talk) 17:31, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Hate to do the standard "per x" thing response, but in this case I have to !vote like that. Thank you to Materialscientist for showing that she does indeed have good coverage. She clearly has had an impact on feminism in Canada as evidenced by the sustained coverage in multiple books.  ULPS ( talk •  contribs ) 17:37, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
