Mary McLeod (academic)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

With all my sincere desire to have more academics especially women on Wiki, I still think the subject of the article fails notability guidelines. As an academic the citation rates are pretty low, the awards listed don't seem to be major, the coverage is mainly on related sources the majority of which use the same text. I failed to find in depth coverage in IRS. Less Unless (talk) 21:39, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment. At least one of her books has been the subject of significant secondary coverage, although it was a joint work (she edited the volume and, I believe, contributed the introduction and one chapter):
 * These go towards WP:NAUTHOR. Being named a fellow of the Society of Architectural Historians may help satisfy WP:NPROF, too. pburka (talk) 21:04, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * In fact, keep. There are only about 50 living fellows of the SAH (see ), so she appears to meet WP:NPROF#3. pburka (talk) 21:27, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: I believe that WP:NPROF crit 3 is met here. Curbon7 (talk) 04:44, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
