Yes, she has been knighted. No, I do not believe this person to be notable. The subject also lacks non-trivial coverage from multiple third party publications which reinforces my belief. JBsupreme (talk) 19:21, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. Obviously notable.--Michig (talk) 20:02, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * This is a discussion not a vote, please explain how this person is obviously notable under the WP:BIO standards or any other relevant biographical guidelines. JBsupreme (talk) 22:09, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * See BIO, first criterion, in the guideline you just quoted. --Michig (talk) 12:16, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - Let's see... WP:BIO states "The person has received a notable award or honor..." - article clearly states that. "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field" - article also states that (also the reason for knighthood). What the article is missing is citations.  Also, article meets criteria as "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by their peers or successors". This is met as well.   She's also an author.  This is just a smidgeon of what I was able to find in 10 secs of searching. I believe notability is firmly established. Turlo Lomon (talk) 23:14, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep being knighted is still a significant honor. If she's good enough for the Queen, she's good enough for Wikipedia. Drawn Some (talk) 23:25, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Being knighted is one of the significant honors discussed in WP:BIO. - Mgm|(talk) 09:22, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The award of a DBE is clear evidence that the British government considered her achievements notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:32, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per nom. (yes, per nom).  Being knighted in itself indicates passing WP:BIO. --Oakshade (talk) 10:48, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep article probably needs a good tidy and more references but a DBE is notable. MilborneOne (talk) 19:31, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
