I nominated this for speedy deletion last night under A7. This was declined, so it's having to come here. If she was a poet or writer, she would have something to find - but I can't find anything. I'm also unable to find anything else for her. DitzyNizzy (aka Jess)|(talk to me)|(What I've done) 15:55, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

redirects are deleted as a matter of course in cases like this after the AfD closes. DGG ( talk ) 05:13, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I declined the speedy because she was asserted to be an author. She is a real person (Burke's Peerage, etc), but apparently there are no published works, in either WorldCat or the British Library, nor any other significant reference. . Quite a few of the other Grant Duffs are notable, some even as poets, but not her. I think prod would have done for this just as well as AfD. DGG ( talk ) 05:20, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I@m sorry I should have been clearer when i first placed her : She was quite important in her time and wrote " A victorian childhood", a book that was a bestseller for its time - she also wrote for the London Mercury and was an ardent feminist and friends with most of the most influential women of her time. she was also painted by John Singer Sargent and is mentioned as such ij most comprehensive bokks on him , see Mrs Jackson.... she was also, an ardent Nazi supporter and placed her house at the disposition of Mr Oswald Mosley for the headquarters of the British Nationalist Party. I will write more on her but have had little time!
