May Tuckerman

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not sure that this particular brothel owner is notable. There is a mention however at "The Past as Prelude: New Orleans, 1718-1968" book (available at Google Books) describing the person as "May Tuckerman, who ran the best known parlor house in the District".

 * Delete being significant within a single neighborhood, even a significant one, does not make one notable. Lepricavark (talk) 19:20, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete You can take a guided tour of any old community, and your seasoned guide will show the old drugstore where Doc Perkins handed out cough syrup and tousled kids' hair for 45 years, and the Stephensons' old market where the locals came to gossip and where there was a scandal when  it was discovered that Ma Stephenson had monkeyed with the scales, and even the corner brothel. And local historical accounts will name these people and repeat these goings-on that give the neighborhood a little bit of color--and about which there's nothing remarkable, and which have never had any impact or been discussed outside the neighborhood. Further, I didn't find anything myself online, including the cited sources, to indicate that Tuckerman was known outside the community. There were a couple of brothels in the neighborhood. She owned one. That's it.
 * One cited source mentions her solely in the context of being the landlady of the woman under discussion. The other barely mentions her. I don't know about the off-line sources, but they appear to be no more than the sort of very local histories I've already described. Largoplazo (talk) 20:17, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
