Delete (weak one) A brief mention here, two listings here, a photo here, not sure this adds up to GNG material. If sources can be found (books? almanacs?) confirming her role, I can change my view.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 00:44, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, added women project to talkpage so participants are notified. Coolabahapple (talk) 04:01, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Given the era, it was pretty remarkable for women to be auto racing. The article needs work and sources, but I think that GNG is met. In addition to the above, I found this, a brief mention, a video, and the following news stories from the time: [1], [2], [3] (subscription required to view the last two, but her name was in the Google snippet).

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Weak Keep, if it was the first all-woman team, I'm actually surprised at the scarcity of coverage, even in newspapers from the time. I was able to find a few brief mentions in addition to what User:Montanabw identified, and I think there's probably enough here. When I'm at work on Wednesday I'll dig into the archives of the SMH if I have time and have a closer look at those articles. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 12:21, 16 September 2016 (UTC).[reply]
