The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. Going with the keeps for now. Her archives being in a major institution is a good qualifier. However, the sourcing is majority primary and we need more reliable secondary sources covering the subject significantly. So, please take a look at that.

Thanks everyone for participating. Unhappy with this decision? If one wishes to renominate this article with another policy-based rationale, they are able to do so. I will defer to other administrators to review it. I will not re-review my decision. Happy holidays. Missvain (talk) 16:08, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Because I think this needs more than PROD. Trent University holds her papers, but a 6m archive doesn't indicate (nor does worldcat or google scholar verify) that she was a prolific writer. I had hopes for this obit, but she doesn't seem to have done enough to add up to meet academic notability and it's not enough fo the GNG. The book, (p109-114) is a little more, but definitely in context of her work with Davies. Thoughts? Star Mississippi 19:19, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete School teacher for 20 years and maybe a local historian, at best. Nothing notable. Oaktree b (talk) 05:50, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Rahmel received an honorary degree from Trent University in 1970, making her one of the earliest women to receive such an honor. She also worked with the Canadian playwright Robertson Davies who guided her presentation of stage shows. I have added these details (with citations) indicating her impact.
