Very little indication of notability. Chief reference here is her eulogy. JoelWhy (talk) 12:03, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep - Several sources have been added since the article was nominated, actually backing up things such as her notable expertise on the Jack the Ripper case, which I feel just barely pushes her into passing the GNG.Rorshacma (talk) 18:01, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTMEMORIAL. If her work on Jack the Ripper was groundbreaking or she wrote a bestselling book then she would be notable per WP:SCHOLAR or WP:AUTHOR, but as it stands her work was nothing special.  Wikipedia would be clogged with historians if every historian that maintained documents of notable events and people were included. Maggie Bird only worked on a re-dedication of the inspector's tombstone.  --Joshuaism (talk) 18:23, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
