 * Keep and further expand. Even the New York Times source in the article called her a "leader in Arts". Sad that in death one's notability comes to the fore.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:29, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete No assertion of notability, and minimal coverage in sources. AniMate  07:37, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * This content belongs in Betsey Cushing Roosevelt Whitney for the moment, where this lady is already mentioned (as "Minnie Cushing", but it's the same person), but not properly sourced. Merge and redirect to that place.  By the way, in mentioning "no assertion of notability", AniMate seems to have confused what's needed to pass CSD A7 with what's needed to pass AfD.  At AfD, you don't just have to assert notability, you have to prove it.  Michael Q. Schmidt might have done that with his links above, but don't think we need to consider that, because at present there's insufficient sourced material available for a separate article to be written.  The reliable source does need to be preserved, so the outcome must be merge.— S Marshall  T/C 10:57, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep The Google news search shows the Los Angeles Times mentioning her as "Mary Benedict Cushing, one of the three famous Cushing sisters from Boston." Well, if a major newspaper says she's famous, then she's famous.  Google book search shows a lot of hits about her, and not just because of her famous father.
