~~Possible hoax that has been on here for years. I am having a really tough time finding any info about her outside of mirrors of Wikipedia. Wgolf (talk) 23:58, 16 March 2019 (UTC)~~Withdrawn[reply]

Comment I wasn't able to find a copy of the article cited as a reference, but it did lead me to an entry for her in Women in Medicine: An Encyclopedia (ABC-CLIO, 2002). This, in turn, points back to Women Doctors of the World (Macmillan, 1957). She is also listed in a 1932 publication by University College London, whose nature I can't tell from the snippet view, but it might be a list of graduates. So, a hoax looks quite unlikely.

Okay thanks, so not a hoax then at least. It was pretty tough to tell. Wgolf (talk) 00:19, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Seems odd though given that shes suppose to be the first woman in her country to be a surgeon that there is little info, not even pages that can link to her. Unless if she has another name (article has been around since 2006 with little to no improvement. Had someone not mistakenly put her as a living person back in 2007 I wouldn't of found this!)Wgolf (talk) 00:59, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've found mentions of her in several places, so I'm pretty sure this is not a hoax. There is more information here. I can't access any other sources, so I don't know if there is significant coverage anywhere else, but this seems like a probable keep. Natureium (talk) 01:12, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment-I might withdraw this if more sources are found. Wgolf (talk) 01:25, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The sources found above are sufficient, including a substantial entry in a print encyclopedia. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:36, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Looking at it again the next day, I concur with the !vote above that the sources are sufficient. XOR'easter (talk) 17:06, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw-Okay withdrawing this. Odd how a AFD actually helped this article, well wouldn't be the first or the last time that happened. Wgolf (talk) 17:43, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep,Has enough sources to be notable Alex-h (talk) 19:05, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
