Let's go off the good article criteria:

Well-written?: I'd say this was well-written, clear, and definitely shows her importance.

Verifiable?: Yes. The sources look fine, and I don't see anything in the lead that doesn't appear elsewhere.

Broad in its coverage?: Hmm. You could argue that a little bit more could be said about her death. Are there no obituaries? This is on the short side, and expansion should definitely continue if this is to go on for FA, but it seems suitable for GA.

Neutral: Unless there's some political scandals involving her that aren't mentioned, I don't see any issues.

Stable: It's a relatively new article, but it's not being editwarred or anything. Seems to be undergoing normal improvement.

Illustrated: Yep.

So, I'm putting this on hold a little bit. It seems we should at least have cause of death and a little bit about what was said about her and her legacy at that point.

Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 16:59, 9 February 2016 (UTC) Adam Cuerden if there is one, I cannot find it. I have searched newspapers.com, newspaperarchives.com, google news archives, London Times archives and e-mailed the [Bahamas National Archives but got no response. I have no other sources to obtain it from. If you have suggestions, will be glad to hear of them. SusunW (talk) 18:44, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Checking http://dloc.com/cndl/about it would appear the major problem is that the relevant archives aren't online. I'm not sure I dare require you to go to the Bahamas... Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 20:51, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Cuerden yes, well it is a wee bit far to just pop over and check in their library for one. Of course someone from their national archives may eventually answer me, but probably not in time for International Women's Day. SusunW (talk) 21:07, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. Fair point. And his is pretty comprehensive besides that. Okay, Promoted Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 23:23, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much Adam Cuerden. Maybe they will still answer and if so I will add it. Or maybe one of my UWI contacts will find something. But in the mean time, I shall prep her for March 8th :) SusunW (talk) 02:43, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to get an Ethel Smyth restoration done for International Women's Day. She's one of my heroes Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 06:02, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck. I'd never heard of her. Isn't it amazing how all of these inspiring women were never taught to us in schools? War yes, battles yes, nation builders yes. But the glue that actually made society bearable, no. Irony. SusunW (talk) 07:23, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
