Doesn't satisfy WP:BIO and WP:GNG. Even her Theosophy wiki entry shows nothing that would support her notability. All I could find (other than a 2010 copy of the text in Witch Daze) is her photo in the National Portrait Gallery. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:40, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Per WP:NEXIST, a quick online search shows that there are numerous sources, mainly books, that cover aspects of her life. If there is a deletion sorting for occult topics, that would be good to add to this AfD listing. I will try to make some improvements to the article, as I do not think it should be deleted just because it is undeveloped and the current sourcing is poor.

Keep As per User:Netherzone WP:NEXIST. definitely notable in her own right - unfortunately so old that most will be paper refs - from looking I could see she had appeared in Daily Sketch, but what about I have no idea as I cant see.

Keep - Echoing User:Netherzone and Davidstewartharvey, WP:NEXIST. The article has had many sources added to it since listing for deletion that demonstrate Besant-Scott meets WP:BIO. Samsmachado (talk) 03:04, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
