- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was withdrawn and speedied as I subsequently rediscovered the existence of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Violet Edwards (politician) from 2021, which was about the same person, by the same creator, and was virtually the same article apart from a few insignificant wording changes.
