 * Delete. Admirable 19 century high school principal, but sources are inadequate to show notability. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:29, 26 March 2019 (UTC).
 * Keep - I read the sources differently. I see notability per WP:GNG. But more input needed in this discussion.BabbaQ (talk) 00:03, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Note, I also realise that the article needs work if kept.BabbaQ (talk) 00:05, 27 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment, have had a quick look at the swedish wp article (here), unfortunately it doesnt have much to add. Coolabahapple (talk) 00:29, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - Obviously an important person in the development of education for women in Sweden. /FredrikT (talk) 09:41, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Why obviously? The sources are tiny. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:02, 28 March 2019 (UTC).


 * Keep, based on the improvements to the article since it was nominated, mainly by RebeccaGreen. Not sure obviously is the word I'd use, but notable enough to keep it. /Julle (talk) 03:30, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * And that would be based on exactly which WP policy? 1 nice article and 2 very short entries in sources meets exactly which notability criteria?  Onel 5969  TT me 05:27, 30 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment, While just writing from an IP-number, I hope it is still permissible for me to comment (excuse me for spelling mistakes: I am from Sweden). Therese Kamph is given her own biography in the source by Heckscher. This is not a small thing, because the source by Hecksher is the main reference work about the history of girl schools in Sweden (which of course is significant in the history of women's education in Sweden), and it was used as the source when the next major reference work by Gunhild Kyle:Svensk flickskola under 1800-talet ['Swedish Girl Schools during the 19th-century'), Göteborg, was written in the 1970s: prior to recent times, the history of girls schools has not been given much coverage in Sweden despite its importance, and given Sweden is a small country, it is perhaps not strange that even significant individuals from its history is not given coverage in international reference works (isn't that the wonderful thing about Wikipedia? To introduce such notable, but yet neclected, people?). Therese Kamph played a major role in the development of the Kjellbergska flickskolan: this school is counted as one of the "first five" pioneer secondary educational schools for women in Sweden, and to have played such an important role in the development of such an institution should be of some importance - for example, she started a training program for teachers within it, which would be the first one outside of Stockholm. For similar reasons, I also feel it strance that the article of her predecessor Helena Eldrup was deleted with no prior discussion; granted, the main source for her article was the jubilee book of the school, but as the founder and organiser of one of the first five pioneer secondary educational schools for women in Sweden, I thought she was notable, even if she would of course, being an individual from the history of a small country, not be expected to be mentioned in international sources.
 * I understand if my comment is left without regard, as I write from an IP, but I felt I should at least write this down here anywhay. Thank you.--92.35.227.48 (talk) 10:10, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
