Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mary Diana Dods
There has been some recent work to improve the article since it was nominated for deletion. There are some interesting circumstances here. The published writings of this individual don't sound as if they are enough to pass standards of notability in their own right. And being friends with other interesting intellectuals isn't enough to establish notability. Of course, the more unusual details around this individual's life and the nature of their relationships only came to light within the last couple of decades, through the work of an academic who had studied Mary Shelley and then realised she had stumbled upon a mystery. A book was published by the academic and following this numerous people have drawn upon that research. On balance, Dods passes
