Lack of clear notability Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 09:38, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I'm sure she must have been written about somewhere, but I can't find much... [1] and [2]. Primary source and one showing they named a scholarship after her, which implies notability, but no sourcing... Even what's used now in the article is trivial.

Comment - The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill considered naming a school building after her: UNC-Chapel Hill seeking final submissions to rename campus buildings with racist ties (News & Observer, 2021, "Karen L. Parker was the first Black woman undergraduate at UNC and chronicled her years as a student during the civil rights movement.") At the UNC Library archive Karen L. Parker Diary, Letter, and Clippings, there is biographical information included with an overview and details about her writing, See also [3]. Beccaynr (talk) 01:58, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I added many sources and expanded the content. Sources now prove notability. Rublamb (talk) 10:13, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:HEY and the sustained coverage that helps support WP:BASIC/WP:GNG notability. Beccaynr (talk) 12:46, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Rublamb and Beccaynr have clearly demonstrated that Parker meets GNG. Excellent work, both of you. :) --Grnrchst (talk) 16:21, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There is evidence of notability, and it has been over time. I think it should be added to the Civil Rights Movement Category as that group may add more over time. But this is much better than many stub articles we have on wiki.Jsgoodrich (talk) 03:38, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
