- Weak keep Early 20th century educator of the blind--founder of The Mississippi Blind School for Negroes[1] in 1945, I don't know what can be expected to be found in Google. The school is real--it is in at least one directory [2]. This needs a look for specialized print sources. DGG (talk) 04:38, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- Keep She's a known and respected educator, if not in the national leagues. The internet is notoriously unuser friendly to the disabled, and to the poor, no need for Wikipedia to subscribe to being an encyclopedia of exclusion--that's the point of band width over print. "No references?" There are plenty of books, news articles, and histories that tell some of her life, even if they are not available on google. "References" does not mean it's in cyber space. --69.225.10.208 (talk) 09:35, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- Strong Keep. A well-known and significant educator. This AfD is discriminating on the basis of Internet notability, not actual notability, and there is a difference. • Freechild'sup? 15:03, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- Comment on another note, following the links, I see she organized the Five Blind Boys of Mississippi. Fo some reason this was not explicit in the text of the original article,so I clarified it. Lomax apparently recorded them at her school. It would help to have some of the printed sources mentioned above included as references. DGG (talk) 15:25, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
