 * Comment - She is listed as being a MBE (knighthood, or whatever it is called for women), which would be an auto-keep if confirmed. I'm not sure how to look this up. Carrite (talk) 15:58, 8 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep - Ah, HERE IT IS, cited in the previous deletion debate. Carrite (talk) 15:59, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment An MBE is nothing like equivalent to a knighthood. The female equivalent of a knight is a dame. An MBE is the lowest British honour, and is awarded to hundreds of people every year. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 17:35, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I stand corrected. Carrite (talk) 15:45, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. Searching for "Marguerite Knight", I found this article, which discusses her story in-depth as told in this book, which, if the index is to be believed, contains 20+ pages worth of coverage on her. There's also a fair amount of coverage in this book. Additionally, a search for "Peggy Knight" also yielded some promising results: . The latter two are snippet views only, but following the text over to the next page or two, the coverage appears significant. Based on these books, the subject meets WP:GNG.
