Very poorly sourced BLP. Notability is NOTINHERITED. Unit Anode  05:18, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment. She's the first lady of Austria, though President of Austria is a less-than powerful position in practice (not in theory apparently). Still I'd guess she's notable just by virtue of being the spouse of an elected chief executive of a nation-state. There are not many sources in English, but apparently quite a lot in German. I'm guessing our article is at least in part a translation of this from de.wikipedia. The source cited was apparently used to create all or most of the articles about Australian first ladies in this category. I see no reason to assume that the article is "very poorly sourced" (or that it is well sourced) without knowing the publication cited in the one footnote. Some advice from German-speaking Wikipedians would probably be useful. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 07:46, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep A search through the Google News Archives shows that she is a high-profile first lady: . However, it would help if a German-speaking editor could strengthen the article's references. Warrah (talk) 15:30, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
