There is some assertion of notability re: otability (academics), particularly pertaining to criteria 4 and 7 with her development of the "STEPS" program as a set of educational guidelines (as it seems to be recognized by several educational organizations and implemented in at least a few places) and her establishment of the Mary McLeod Bethune Institute, which was recognized by the Dept. of Labor. I will admit these assertions of notability are shaky at best, and would only hold up with better referencing, hence my 'weak keep' stance. Additionally, this article has serious COI issues and could stand some pruning and cleanup, but those alone are not reason to delete
