Not a notable author or activist. Coverage in sources is strictly local, the only recognition received was apparently that she was one of six women recognized in 2012 by a local 2-year community college. Kelly ^hi! 14:29, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep [1] author. In Routledge book. [2] in a book from Stanford University Press. [3] Simon & Schuster. [4] substantial mention n a book from Gill & Macmillan. And so on. And I daresay Stanford, Routledge, etc. are not "local coverage" sources. Sorry -- one more female BLP which should be kept. Collect (talk) 01:33, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry, but having (co-)authored three chapters doesn't mean one passes the GNG. The reference in the Paid For book is helpful, but let's remember that the book is an autobiography, not an academic study of her or her activism. Drmies (talk) 04:49, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Passes WP:BIO. Sources: She was one of CNN's 'Heroes', GB Times, TC Daily Planet, MPR News, CBS Local, Huffington Post, KSTP, Bismarck Tribune, TwinCities, TwinCities again. Some local, some regional, and a few national. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 14:08, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I've cleaned it up a bit and expanded the bibliography, I think that ought to be enough. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 02:57, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep but tag with NPOV issues, as Carter has been the subject of considerable controversy in reliable sources that isn't mentioned here because of the author's obvious bias. The Drover's Wife (talk) 01:22, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
