Prod contested on the grounds that she is the wife of a famous geologist. Notability is not inherited. Delete.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 03:32, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: No assertion of notability. Switch to neutral. --DanielRigal (talk) 03:35, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete- I can find quite a few mentions of this person, but they mostly seem to be passing mentions or somehow connected to her church community (ie. not independent enough to confer notability). Reyk  YO!  11:40, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - some sources and content added. There are not huge numbers of sources, admittedly, but enough IMO to show that she was of some importance in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, ie, a national church, not just a local one, and that her musical work in that context is of sufficient notability to merit an article about her in her own right. As for the above comments, (a) there IS an assertion of independent notability on account of her musical work, and (b) it was never claimed that her only importance was as the wife of a famous geologist (not composer), as a quick read of the article + history will show.HeartofaDog (talk) 18:08, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * To be fair to editors Blanchardb and DanielRigal, at the time they made their respective nomination and comment, the article looked like this; there was no assertion of notability other than being married to someone notable, and I would have agreed with the article's deletion.

 * That was the article when I saw it: the assertion of notability is in sentence 2. But it is not well presented, agreed.HeartofaDog (talk) 23:10, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - Her work in producing the second setting of the Lutheran church's Service Book and Hymnal, as described here, meets notability criteria. That web page is not a very WP:RS, but that's a matter for improvement of the article, not its existence. TJRC (talk) 18:11, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
