Keep I added some references. She has been written about both for her role in the creation of the Bayeux Tapestry replica and for her role in founding the Leek Embroidery Society. This book, The Rise and Fall of Art Needlework: Its Socio-economic and Cultural Aspects, devotes an entire chapter to the society including pages 95-97, specifically about Elizabeth Wardle's role. That chapter is not viewable in Google books, but the preface on page 14 outlines the discussion to come. 24.151.116.12 (talk) 16:59, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

Despite Boleyn's assertions to the contrary, this person is clearly notable.--Thoughtfortheday (talk) 18:52, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It looks as if the article was given too little time before the AFD was placed. Now it shows Wardle is notable for more than a single event and there are multiple, independent, reliable sources in the article confirming this. Thincat (talk) 22:09, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I see multiple books discussing her. Not a vital article to be sure - but NOTPAPER. I'll note that the original article, when nominated, did not assert significance clearly - it screamed NOTINHERITED bio (from her husband Thomas Wardle (industrialist)) without asserting her independent notability in embroidery (mentioning the Bayeux Tapestry replica - but making it sound 1Eish).

Keep. Not a major historical player, but certainly meets the notability threshold for a Wikipedia article. GrindtXX (talk) 23:02, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep thanks for creating + improving the article Thoughtfortheday. Hmlarson (talk) 07:23, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As noted by others the article has clear evidence of notability. Dunarc (talk) 19:15, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
