No evidence of notability; prod added in Nov 2006. Vintagekits 20:48, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, aristocratic, socialist politician. --Counter-revolutionary 20:50, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

• Comment, That is true, however, that alone (being a local councillor with a minor title) would not make a person notable.--Vintagekits 21:00, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete unless further notability is claimed. At the moment she is the granddaughter/sister of nobility with no title of her own, failing WP:BIO (and the proposed WP:NOBLE), and a local politician, again failing WP:BIO. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nuttah68 (talk • contribs) 21:04, 4 March 2007 (UTC).
• Keep. Counter-revolutionary has added some useful references. --Eastmain 23:33, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

• Comment, He has references have been added to say that she was a socialist local councillor, thats not notable.--Vintagekits 00:48, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete "well-known social worker" does not meet notability guidelines in my opinion. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 01:03, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• keep Given the period, even the sketch of a career provided shows N.DGG 02:41, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep- Lady Mabel meets the criteria laid out in WP:BIO Astrotrain 09:22, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

• Comment, which criteria - noting that WP:BIO states "Politicians who have held international, national or statewide/provincewide office, and members and former members of a national, state or provincial legislatures." - local councillor does not meet this criteria!--Vintagekits 00:27, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. Notable in her own right (which was relatively unusual in those days) as well as the College being named after her. - Kittybrewster 18:07, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep:quite notable. David Lauder 10:17, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

• Comment, "quite notable"!? how?--Vintagekits 00:27, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

To the admin closing this AfD, please note a number of editors who have !voted on this !vote have been involved in vote canvassing and now what another administrator has called “lock step” voting. Over the past months a number of editors have been accused of !voting on the basis of what “they like” rather than using the rationale of wiki policies. A number of central users such as Astrotrain, Kittybrewster, Counter-revolutionary, David Lauder, Major Bonkers but at times have also included Fraslet and to a lesser extent Weggie and Gibnews and also El chulito and Inthegloaming who I very strongly suspect are/were socks.

This is a personal attack which I presume comes from User:vintagekits but is not signed. I have two socks and am wearing them on my feet. The following long rant has nothing to do with this AfD and some of the comments made are of a threatening nature. --Gibnews 01:21, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

It would be a rant if no evidence was provided. It has everything to do with this AfD as it is a continuing pattern of behaviour.--Vintagekits 01:25, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

• NOTE: the rest of the above discussion on "vote canvassing" has been moved to the talk page.

• Keep as a "pioneer in education and social welfare". I would like to see more information in this article though. I'm sure it is available. Tyrenius 03:54, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

• Comment, :If there were any details of how she was a "pioneer in education and social welfare" then I might agree with you however as the claim is made by "maltyonline" single line reference her I find that claim massively grandiose, also not that eachof the references used are local papers with zero details of any substance. --Vintagekits 09:14, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
