- Come again?! At what age must one die to become notable? Buddy Holly died at 22. I'm sure you didn't mean it the way it sounds, but it does sound a little suspect! --kingboyk 22:44, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete There is no demonstration that Canters' thesis is influential amongst Feminist academic circles. Might be a justifiable keep if citations and references to critical appraisals can be provided. (aeropagitica) 21:39, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I have added more citations with more to come. I do think Canters made a significant contribution to philosophy - I intend to give a summary of her thinking. Her work has just been published so it will take some time for there to be critical reviews of her ideas - so perhaps give the entry some time. It is an interesting question as to how many books make a person notable - and surely there is a very subjective element in the judgement of who is notable and who is not - and how this is measured. Certainly, Canters made a verifable contribution to human knowledge whatever on thinks of the subject matter itself. Also the book was co written with Grace Jantzen who herself has clearly made advances in the feminist philosophy of religion and contributions to developing the work of French feminist thought in the English speaking world.
