This is a beginning ("stump") for this article and it is part of a national effort to correct the systemic gender bias within Wikipedia. This student is participating in a university course that is a part of this effort and is responding to Wikipedia's own "Open Task List": a list of articles that need to be either developed or fleshed-out in order to better represent history. The page on Bertha Van Hoosen is one of these requested articles. You can see this open task list here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Feminism/Open_tasks I respectfully request the page remain. Dalton D. Hird 02:08, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think she is indeed very clearly notable, as first president of American Medical Women's Association; the president of a major national professional association is almost always considered notable here.
It would be a good idea to expand the article on American Medical Women's Association to include a list of all their presidents, and then to write at least stub articles on them--this is an effective technique for identifying notable individuals. DGG ( talk ) 21:05, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
