This was a declined speedy and by the decliners comments, he would decline as a prod, too. Aside from obvious BLP concerns here, the lead refers to her as a "lesser known wife, mother and homemaker". Her claim to notability is that in 2001 she was the fourth person that Duke University Medical Center performed a procedure on. Note - she wasn't the fourth ever - she was the fourth ever by that hospital. The procedure was first done in 1983. While it's a good thing, having a lung transplant doesn't make you notable.

  • Delete Agreed with nom. This could likely be speedied, but I'd like some other opinions. GlassCobra 06:25, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete per WP:CSD#A7. Doesn't look like much of an assertion of notability to me. See also WP:BIO1E — even if the information about her were deserving to be kept somewhere (far from obvious) it should be on the transplant article, not as a separate piece. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:42, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete Fourth person to have a certain operation at a certain hospital? Not a claim of notability at all. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:52, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
