[edit] Kenny Williams (educator)

Even if this article provided sources, I still don't see how it is notable enough to warrant inclusion. This fails WP:BIO and the PROF TEST as far as I'm concerned. RFerreira 07:50, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. No assertion of notability. --Thatdog 08:51, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Revised article now establishes notability. Good job! --Thatdog 12:01, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
• comment The article is very light, and merits deletion on the surface. However, she seems quite important. see this article. or do a search with "Kenny Williams" + Duke. Only about 12,000Gits, but scanning through the articles gives an idea of her importance. More anon. Ohconfucius 10:13, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

• page has now been modified. I think she would probably pass WP:BIO as an author if not as an educator. It is possible that her importance may have been underestimated in the context of racial segregation lasting up to the 1960s in the deep south. Ohconfucius 07:58, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. I added some book titles to the references section of the article. As well, read the announcement of her death at http://www.dukenews.duke.edu/2004/01/symphony_0104.html (also added as a reference to the article), in which her colleagues talk about her contributions.

• Keep, seems reasonably well-regarded by her peers. Here's another link to look at: [1].Zagalejo 23:20, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
• Withdraw nomination based upon the work by TruthbringerToronto and Ohconfucius. Odd, but I am an Duke alum and hadn't heard of her before. I agree now that she meets our notability criteria and feel this should be kept. RFerreira 22:04, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
