Speedy deletion template removed by article creator. No indication of notability, Jezhotwells (talk) 12:54, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Some of her students have achieved some degree of notability, but she fails Notability (people). &mdash; QuantumEleven 15:38, 30 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment and Delete. The creator should not have removed the speedy tag. Irbisgreif (talk) 15:57, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Reply to Comment That being said, re-tagging for WP:CSD when the text is no longer a copyvio is pointless, and I have therefore removed the csd template. Neutral on deletion debate. MLauba (talk) 16:14, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep, but possible Merge or Redirect. Certainly, the Boston Globe loves her . It seems she may be unusually well known among music teachers, at least. There is a suggestion that she skirts Notability (music), though I cannot be certain, since I can't access records of her musical career in Korea (having no idea how to read Korean or even how to search for the Korean spelling of her name). But even if she is not notable enough for a stand-alone article, she is the wife of a notable individual. At the least, her name should redirect to his article (Russell Sherman) (he has cited her as an inspiration and dedicated material to her). --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:08, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: should this close "redirect", no merge is necessary at this point. I've made reference to her in her husband's article, so there's at least obvious reason why her name dumps there. There currently isn't much other sourced information to merge. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:15, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak delete. There are many articles on the Boston Globe mentioning her, but most of them are trivial mentions as the teacher of someone else the article is really about. The two exceptions I found were both about the same concert in May 2004, and I can't find any significant coverage of her elsewhere. I don't think it's quite enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:41, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: Redirect to Russell Sherman would be a good outcome, as it appears to RS can be found. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:32, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
