The result was merge to First Lady of Guam. I find Eddie891's contribution the most persuasive. Note the target of this merge isn't exclusive, and some content may be better merged elsewhere per Lajmmorre. Daniel (talk) 22:04, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Keep rationales are somewhat weak and assume there is sufficient coverage without offering it. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Bungle (talk • contribs) 20:42, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * KEEP. Has sufficient references/citation. First Lady of Guam is Notable. SWP13 (talk) 09:13, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment This one's tough, since I focus on WIR. Although I've seen quite substantial coverage about the spouse, I wasn't able to find SIGCOV about her and it could easily be because of the times and perhaps not much were written about her in Guam. In the same way some of the articles for women in Papua New Guinea's notability are often challenged due to the nature of their work (not much fanfare) and contributions to their respective community.--WomenProj (talk) 16:50, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: The sources are adequate for the period in question. There are certainly newspaper records which could add to the coverage if anyone can find them.--Ipigott (talk) 18:56, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:ANYBIO. Also, notability is not inherited. KidAd  •  SPEAK  19:19, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
 * merge/redirect: either to her husbands article or to First Lady of Guam. I came here expecting to !vote keep, but have found absolutely no substantive independent coverage that would establish GNG. Based on the time period, if that coverage has not been digitized, I'd still expect to see some inkling of it, but have that has not been forthcoming. Nothing here seems to establish notability independent of her husband. We fundamentally cannot write a substantive article on her (i.e. what she did) with the sources available. Keeping history would allow for recreation should substantive coverage emerge at some time in the future, but it just isn't there from what I have seen-- Eddie891 Talk Work 13:49, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge I think this should be merged into her husband's article with a redirect from her name - as others say we don't have a record of what she did, but I do think that the page as it provide extra info that is relevant to her husband's. Lajmmoore (talk) 12:46, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
