This figure is not notable, less than 30 google news results, and she established a very small magazine that has little to no coverage or attention to this day. Her land trust was 147 acres. To put that into context, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy an actually notable land trust has 250,000 acres. ShimonChai (talk) 17:36, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The related journal WomanSpirit is also up for deletion here --Theredproject (talk) 19:11, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: it seems worth noting that her papers are in the archives of a major university [1] and her NPR affiliate did not one, but two 30m shows to her memory [2] [3] and the local paper published an obituary [4] --Theredproject (talk) 19:23, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's typical for the local paper publish an obituary for people who have little to know notability, it means nothing in terms of notability. ShimonChai (talk) 19:40, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The entry for Moutaingrove in Feminists Who Changed America is a clear example of analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources (the archive referred to above). Vexations (talk) 21:17, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per Vexations and Atlantic306. /Julle (talk) 10:24, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
