Keep. There is some significant coverage such as [1] and [2] (currently cited in the article). Her journals were considered significant enough to merit publication. Also, do you have access to the paper "Educating with Heart, Head, and Hands: Pestalozzianism, Women Seminaries, and the Spread of Progressive Ideas in Indian Territory." mentioned in the article? We should check this before envisioning deletion because coverage in scholarly journal is a particularly strong sign of notability. The same can be said about the book "Cultivating the Rosebuds : The Education of Women at the Cherokee Female Seminary": we need to know how much coverage of Whitmore is in there.

Keep. There were sources covering the subject listed in the article, they were just badly formatted and mostly listed in the Bibliography rather than in the References section. I renamed the Bibliography section into Sources and cleaned it up a bit. In addition to the sources mentioned by Pichpich above, there are some others there as well. E.g. this book discusses Whitmore Goodale in detail on pp 31-33. The Bibliography/Sources section also lists an academic journal article[3]; the article sits behind a paywall but I would AGF this ref since all the other ones given there do check out. Overall, (even minus that journal ref) there is sufficient coverage here to satisfy WP:GNG. Nsk92 (talk) 22:09, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
