BLP that has been unsourced for four and a half years. She has the post of Pro-Vice-Chancellor for International Strategy at the University of Cambridge ([1]) but she doesn't seem notable as an academic and I didn't find much in the way of significant independent coverage. I was unable to confirm an original source (several sites appear to be sourced from this article) but this article does look like it was copied from another website.

Keep - yes, it's unsourced, but you didn't look in the obvious place Who's Who. Confirms she is Pro-Vice Chancellor for International Strategy, and President of Murray Edwards College (New Hall). She's also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts Barney the barney barney (talk) 22:52, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- per Barney. She meets the notability guidelines of WP:PROF. TonyBallioni (talk)
Comment I am unsure. Pro-Vice-Chancellor does not seem to be "a highest-level elected or appointed academic post at a major academic institution or major academic society". As the college is part of Cambridge University, that doesn't seem to qualify either. Neither am I certain that being a Fellow of the RSA constitutes "a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level", given that our article on the RSA states that there are currently 27,000 such Fellows. --Randykitty (talk) 13:50, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ Keep. Pro Vice-Chancellor does not meet WP:Prof#C6. only VC does. Not much else found by me yet. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:16, 23 November 2013 (UTC).[reply]
Keep -- Cambridge University Colleges are not merely halls of residence, and pro-vice-chancellor is a deputy head of the university (under the Vice-Chancellor), the Chancellor being an honorary post. In some cases (such as Downing College, Cambridge, we have a list of masters in the article on the college. That seems to be missing in this case, possibly because it is a women's college (and hence younger) but that should not make a difference. Peterkingiron (talk) 22:54, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment FWIW the others appear to be Rosemary Murray (1964–1981), Valerie Pearl (1981–1995) and Anne Lonsdale (1996–2008). Barney the barney barney (talk) 23:07, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep We need to look at a person's notability in the round. As pointed out, these posts are highly prestigious, more so than being a vice-chancellor at most UK universities. --AJHingston (talk) 18:15, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
