I realized there may be some claim of notability for the subject. The subject has won a few awards, but I don't think those awards meet the Criteria #6 of WP:PROF. Nishkid64 (talk) 20:36, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I both agree and disagree. The subject does seem somewhat unimportant, but is also important in a way. Davidm617617 21:01, 27 September 2007 (UTC)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidm617617 (talk • contribs) 20:55, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

comment certainly as won a lot of awards, and may be as notable as a 7th-8th grade teacher can be. There are currently no sources in the article (years awards won might be useful to mention in article), and WP has no articles on the awards she has won by which to easily evaluate their notability: NJAS Teacher of the Year, Toyota Tapestry Large Grant Award [1] [2] [3], Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund Award [4] [5], PSE&G Envrionmental Education Grant [6], NJ Presidental Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching [7] [8].

Delete, Surely non notable! -- Kleinzach 01:12, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails notability standard. Eusebeus 03:16, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete Probably not notable. If they were national wards, she;s be notable, but they seem to b state awards only. DGG (talk) 05:33, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The PAEMST one appears to be national. It is awarded at the national level, but given to nominees from each state. —David Eppstein 17:32, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per above. --Crusio 10:10, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep possibly noteable due to awards, but as the article stands it's a delete. I think categorize it as a stub and see if someone can improve it. Wikipedia is not paper! Jon Hobynx 18:08, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per DGG. Also missing sources with which we can verify. Stifle (talk) 19:39, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No reliable secondary sources to establish notability. --Kudret abi^Talk 06:38, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. I think the PAEMST awards are notable as being a longstanding award given at the highest level to a quite small number of educators: "As enacted by Congress in the 1983, the President makes up to 108 awards each year. The 2008 call for nominations marks the 25th year of the program." I'm not as impressed by the other accomplishments listed in the article, though. —David Eppstein 17:30, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Eppstein, that's 2,700 awardees. This is a nn teacher. Ritametermaid 09:59, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
