Fails WP:GNG and guidelines for WP:BIO articles per WP:NOTINHERITED. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 18:17, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - A look reveals that a president gave her a pen used to sign an important act. This is not inherited, but actually the subject of the article being part of a huge event. It also shows that Wright is discussed in 3 diverse publications, using these publications as sources, the article can easily be expanded. So yeah.

Delete - Classic case of Inherited notability. Surely we don't need articles for employees of politicians? AusLondonder (talk) 19:19, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. She worked for a president, but she was not a Crook. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:00, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - she's mentioned several times in Robert Caro's multi-volume biographies of LBJ as the muse for the Civil Rights Acts of 1957, 1964, and 1965. Bearian (talk) 21:11, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep LBJ used to tell her story to try to convince white senators to support civil rights legislation. I found plenty of sources in Google Books. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 21:50, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think there is just enough coverage to meet the notability guidelines. Davewild (talk) 17:18, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Adequate third party coverage to make her a notable figure. Inspirational as well. LBJ clearly influenced by her experiences. Also, a great example of how difficult it can be for people who are women or minorities to get the outside coverage needed. Mention in Caro books is significant.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep She is clearly a notable figure in African-American history and the article is sourced. It does need expansion, but this is not unusual for new articles. Dimadick (talk) 07:57, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
