Rosalind Chetwynd

 * — (View AfD)

Not notable enough. Only hits on Google refer to being Shackleton's mistress. No mention on Shackleton's page. Not enough information to merge into Shackleton's page. Akihabara 06:30, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep - that Google hits only refer to her as Shackleton's mistress, and that she isn't mentioned on his page, are not reasons enough to justify deletion, but only shows that Google and Wikipedia often are insufficient tools to judge importance. Rosalind Chetwynd was an extremely interesting lady: an American middle-class woman, born Rosalind Secor and daughter of a New York lawyer. She travelled to London in 1900 and married Guy Chetwynd, heir to a baronetcy. She later divorced him and developed a life-long attachment to Jack Barnato Joel, a well-known British-South African financier, mining magnate and horse-breeder, part of the Joel family. He supported her and her son Victor Chetwynd for many years, and continued to do so even when she started her long affair with Shackleton. She, in turn, presented his wife to the Court. At the age of 33, she became a rather successful actress in London, using the stage name Rosa Lynd (picture at the National Portrait Gallery ) and performing in classic venues such as Wyndham’s Theatre and the Comedy Theatre, for which she even was manager for a while. She also started her own theatre company, The Rosa Lynd Company, which performed both in Britain and on Broadway. Thomas Blomberg 20:11, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thomas - could you put some of that, with refs, on the page? You've already posted about 4 times the content of the current article.  Thanks. Akihabara 23:10, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
