Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Janie Settles Johnson
I'm sorry, Tiparrish, I wish we could have an article about her, but Wikipedia has standards for inclusion which require that the person has received |significant coverage by multiple independent reliable sources. Despite her distinguished career, it doesn't appear that she received that kind of coverage. The only thing I could find was the obituary in a small hyperlocal paper, obviously written by family members - coverage which is not independent and not enough. I could find nothing else at Google News or Google Books. It sounds like there was also an article in 1984, when she became head of the department, but again it is in a very small local paper; it doesn't sound as if her "first" status was noted statewide or even regionally. The article is well written and I would suggest you submit it to local historical societies
