- Comment: May pass WP:NPROF#3 as a fellow of the American Physical Society. Curbon7 (talk) 17:48, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
- Regardless of the status of APS fellowship, she is also a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, which is #3 conferring, so keep. Curbon7 (talk) 18:48, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
- Just for the record, an APS fellowship IS sufficient to confer notability per WP:NPROF, and there are literally hundreds of physicist articles included in WP on that basis. PianoDan (talk) 17:02, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for this information PianoDan, I wasn't aware of this when I made the nomination. Skipple ☎ 17:03, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Skipple. Given that info, and the sources since found, would you consider withdrawing the nomination so it can be speedily closed? If you're not already familiar, you can find the procedure at WP:WITHDRAWN. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 17:26, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

- Keep if the infobox claim that she was a distinguished professor (NPROF C5) is verified. JoelleJay (talk) 18:16, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: here's another source with significant coverage: Byers, Karlyn (2 September 1995). "Governor Honors Powell Woman". The Delaware Gazette. p. 3. Retrieved 8 November 2022 – via Newspapers.com. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 18:48, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
- She's also given lengthy treatment in Ware, Jane (1990). An Ohio State Profile: A Year in the Life of America's Biggest Campus. New York: W. Morrow. pp. 131–133. ISBN 978-0-688-08393-9. Mostly quoted material, but the parts in the author's voice are enough to meet sigcov. I'm definitely a Keep on this per WP:NBASIC, with the sources mentioned in this discussion being enough to demonstrate the pass. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 13:32, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. Passes WP:BASIC and WP:NPROF. In addition to the sources above and in the article, she has an entry in this reference work: Jacqueline Jones Royster (2003). "Bunny Cowan Clark". Profiles of Ohio Women, 1803-2003. Ohio University Press. p. 174. 4meter4 (talk) 19:15, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
