Nicely recently wikified article, but no nobility is asserted. Being a teacher is important, but just a teacher is not-notable enough to have their own article. -Royalguard11TalkMy Desk 23:08, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, after seeing the latest rw, I see that she is quite notable. I will then withdraw my nomination, and bring this to a speedy close. -Royalguard11TalkMy Desk 18:35, 15 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep I don't know about no notability asserted. She actually seems reasonably notable to me. She started this Benington dance school (essentially Benington's dance department at the time) and then brought it with her to Connecticut College. Then she started Juliard's dance program and merged modern and ballet. These all seem like impressive enough accomplishments to me to keep the article. It'd be nice if the doctoral dissertation were properly referenced if it's kept.--Kchase T 00:36, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. She wasn't "just a teacher". She taught at a pretty advanced level. She influenced a lot of dancers. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 00:58, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - first director of dance at Julliard? Sorry Royalguard, she is clearly notable.  However, I'll grant you this article does look malformed somehow... I'll try and see if I can't improve it. -- Deville (Talk) 01:31, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I have partially re-written it, putting her achievements into a more obvious light, and asserting her notability. From the information therein, it seems that she has been very influential in her role, and her achievemnts have a lasting impact. Keep per Deville. Ohconfucius 02:06, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
