Monica Storrs
Seems to be nice enough of a lady, but is sadly non-notable. humblefool&reg;Deletion Reform 02:03, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

She is honoured in the museums there, has several books written about her, her diaries published, two documentaries made about her life in Canada and one by the BBC. Pretty notable I would say!  Fernando Rizo T/C 02:16, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Monica Stores was one of the founders of British Columbia and a feminist icon in these parts.
 * Keep. For once, I'm going to have to disgree with you, HF. She only draws 647 Google hits, but this may be more due to the fact that she is a woman from the 19th century than any lack of notability. The article needs a cleanup in a big way, but it cites two scholarly books about her, including one published by the U. of Toronto, which has one of the finest history departments in North America.

 * The one time I vote 'keep' it turns out to be a copyvio. Sheesh. :) Fernando Rizo T/C 04:03, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete as copyvio of this . I will report it myself.Capitalistroadster 03:45, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep if the copyvio issue is resolved, she seems obscure, yet noteable. GregAsche 04:09, August 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep if the article can be re-written. She seems to be a local hero and historical figure. Noteable enough for a "non-paper" encyclopedia --Outlander 21:28, 17 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep Not CR Violation Permission Sought from FSJ site... and (yawn) new version of brief life of this most notable person posted to silence ocker critics.
