 * Weak Keep Added sources. She was made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for her work preserving local history of Wellington. There are a number of decent sources about her, but not free online, linked in the article. She also wrote an article(s) in Dictionary of New Zealand Biography so she is considered a national expert by the New Zealand government (probably on Wellington church's and/or Revd Frederick Thatcher). -- Green Cardamom (talk) 03:08, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable as a historian and for her work on the Bolton Street Cemetery. The DNZB entry that she wrote for Frederick Thatcher would certainly have been peer reviewed.  Schwede 66  18:45, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Note that she has also written DNZB entries for William Mowbray, Esther Mary Baber, and Kennedy Macdonald.  Schwede 66  18:21, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep has done enough to cross notability criteria for WP:ANYBIO and WP:Academic. Article needs more work and improved referencing. NealeFamily (talk) 08:32, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
