Incomplete[edit]

This article, as it stands, is one big "so what". "She converted to protestantism", as did hundreds of thousands of people. The article has no further information on why she is considered notable enough to have an ODNB entry (which is basically the only reason this isn't an A7 speedy deletion candidate). Please exapnd the article with actual information about the subject, or move it to draft until you have the time to do so. Fram (talk) 10:06, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your interest. As you note its clearly notable, but I think you missed that it was a work in progress. Good to wait a while before making a judgement. "So What" you say and I echo. Victuallers (talk) 10:40, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"Clearly notable" as she has an ODNB entry, but I have to say that there are many ODNB entries where I have to wonder why anyone bothered adding them to that once select publication. Was she in any way venerated? VIlified? Known at all outside her family and friends. Did she do anything extraordinary? Did she publish anything which got attention. Was anything in her life actually exceptional? I have no idea why she would warrant an ODNB entry (and thus an article here). Fram (talk) 10:51, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Think about it. If she was unknown "outside her family and friends" then there would be nothing to record... and clearly there is. You may not understand her significance, but luckily the ODNB editors do... and so do I. Victuallers (talk) 11:02, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Then the article does a very bad job explaining that significance. Fram (talk) 11:24, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
