This is an interesting one because she would seem notable and acceptable at first and there are linking articles with which to move this to and my searches also found this and this making them the best links I found so I'm not sure overall but no better improvement seems somewhat obvious here and this hasn't changed much since starting in September 2005.

  • Speedy Keep Listed in the "Peerage" [1], and multitudinous other sources [2] [3], [4] Seriously 30 hits in books alone. Her picture is in the National Portrait gallery [5]. She was a Eugenics Activist [6], [7] Plenty of expansion can be done and certainly sources exist. SusunW (talk) 00:14, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep. At least technically, passes WP:POLOUTCOMES as a member of the London County Council in the 1920s and 1930s (under her first married name, Priscilla Worsthorne). We also generally regard holders of the CBE (though not lower ranks of the Order of the British Empire) as notable. Under her second married name, Priscilla Norman, she probably also meets WP:GNG for her interest in mental health issues and the admittedly somewhat honorific positions that the combination of this and her social standing gained her - it looks as if the nominator may have missed this by concentrating on her maiden name. The best source I have so far found relating to these is this book, but there do look likely to be others as good or better off-line or with restricted access - her activities in this area are almost certainly by now of only historical interest. Note that, if searching for references to her as Priscilla Norman, one has to take care not to confuse her with her older contemporary Florence Norman, who was also known as Priscilla Norman and was also a CBE.

  • Keep. We have always considered a CBE or above to qualify per WP:ANYBIO #1. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:31, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
