I'm writing to ask what is the problem with the page as:

(a) no such page for this individual,

(b) it's impossible for this page to be submerged into another page ie his page, as one doesn't even exist on Wikipedia.

(c) If it is a question of evidence for Elsie Jury then sufficient references do exist to substantiate information as to her lifetime contributions Elsie Jury from institutions such as the Royal Ontario Museum (Ontario, Canada), the Museum of Ontario Archaeology and companies such as Timmins Martelle Heritage Consultants Inc.

Please could a reason be provided why this page has to be deleted as it remains unclear as it seems is the problem is that the problem may be that this individual or was an academic, or was a practicing archaeologist/historian or a Canadian? If either of these is a problem I'm at a loss why this page ought to be deleted?

Delete Wikipedia articles are supposed to provide text that explains the impact of a person in their field of endevor, not just barebones lists of actions.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:10, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Well, this has to be one of the laziest nominations I've seen in a while. The subject is an easy pass of the WP:GNG, WP:NBIO, and WP:PROF#C1. There are biographies of her from TrowelBlazers[1] and the Museum of Ontario[2], a museum exhibition about her and her family's impact on Ontario archaeology[3] with an accompanying book[4], multiple reviews of her scholarly work[5][6][7][8][9], and significant biographical coverage in other publications[10][11]. – Joe (talk) 09:08, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree with the points in favor of keeping the article that Joe Roe mentioned above. MauraWen (talk) 13:29, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep She seems to be borderline with respect to WP:PROF and WP:AUTHOR but Joe's sources demonstrate a clear pass of WP:GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:57, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The page seems in good shape, plus she seems like a classic example of a woman whose achievements were credited to her husband, when she in fact was a researcher in her own right. (Lajmmoore (talk) 06:38, 16 April 2020 (UTC))[reply]
Keep As others have said. Kj cheetham (talk) 08:26, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As Joe outlined, need we say more? Zakhx150 (talk) 12:50, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
