 * Comment Certainly the subject is actively engaged in the community, and an OAM is not trivial, but none-the-less quite common and does not count to notability on its own.  Possible COI by editor/s is not grounds for deletion if the content is balanced, verifiable, and reliably referenced (BLP).  However, there does not appear to be sufficient to meet GNG or any NSUBJECT.  Still making up my mind and looking for further references.  Aoziwe (talk) 10:56, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete unfortunately. There is plenty of good quality material demonstrating that the subject is active in the community, for example this and this, but I cannot find anything about the subject.  I would be happy to change my !vote if someone can find reasonable IRS about the subject.  Aoziwe (talk) 10:20, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: As a teacher, she would fall under Wikipedia:Notability (academics). Surely the Order of Australia established by Elizabeth II,  would qualify as a highly prestigious award or honor at a national or international level? Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 04:22, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
 * One might think so. They are "nice to have", but the OAM is the lowest level of recognition and they are given out by the hundred / thousand ...  Aoziwe (talk) 06:46, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak delete. I've added 2 IRS to a small addition to the page (found via ProQuest database search of Aust and NZ newspapers). Maureen has certainly been cited for comment at least a dozen times by The Canberra Times in her capacity as a school principal and advocate of independent schools funding policy changes. I'm not sure these additions are sufficient to make the page meet GNG however and am inclined to agree with Aoziwe. Cabrils (talk) 05:02, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
