Fails WP:NBIO. Only notability is inherited from others such as her husband William Russell and her brother Patrick Henry. Dat Guy^Talk_Contribs 22:08, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - The subject is described in one of the cited sources as of great influence in the history of U.S. Methodism through her sponsorship and fostering of the nascent movement (circuit riders, etc.). --Orange Mike | Talk 22:12, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep probably tag for improvement, especially for better sourcing of her Methodist leadership role at the period of that denomination's rapid growth.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:25, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep, and encourage the nominator to follow the guidance in WP:BEFORE in the future. Numerous additional sources are easily found for the article subject. Some examples: Saltville by Jeffrey C. Weaver; "Elizabeth Henry Campbell Russell: Champion of Faith in the Early Republic" by John Kukla, in Virginia Women: Their Lives and Times--Volume 1; Taking Heaven by Storm: Methodism and the Rise of Popular Christianity in America, 1998. 28bytes (talk) 23:00, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and I would've closed as such as this is likely to have better available sources as noted, being a history subject. SwisterTwister talk 00:26, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- As a pioneer of Methodism in a region she is clearly notable in her own right. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:05, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
