Notability[edit]

I've looked into Ena Neill before and I didn't find enough sources to warrant a dedicated article apart from Summerhill School. – czar 14:12, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree she's edgy but the ODNB sees her as notable (just) and the de:wiki has an articles on her (with sources) and her daughter. Anecdotal sources seem to imply that it has her who kept the school together. Victuallers (talk) 14:40, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The dewp article has one self-published source and that's all. She was only in charge of the school briefly and did not have any external claim to notability. Barring sources to the contrary, this topic doesn't meet the general notability guideline for its own article and should be merged with the school, as it was. – czar 15:59, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I can't say I agree. She was de facto in charge for decades. The dewp could have used the odnb which is a 3rd party reliable source but do feel free to arrange this how you would like it. Victuallers (talk) 14:58, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
