But today, the New York Times, published an
Obituary for another Janet Wolfe, who received substantial coverage in the New Yorker over decades. The New Yorker also wrote about her death today
[3], she's also been the subject of a documentary film
[4].
Proposal: DeleteJanet Wolfe, create new article on the other Janet Wolfe with a hatnote pointed to
Wolfe Laboratories, use references listed above regarding the scientist to potentially expand
Wolfe Laboratories.
This seemed like the best place to have a wide-ranging discussion on the possibilities here, before taking action.

Keep and blank and start the article on the new person in the same space to preserve the history. Then remove the links in the lab article. No need to even come here, you could have just done that. --

This seems like the best plan. The deletion could have been proposed with the thinking that changing the article to an entirely different person might need deletion to clear up confusion in page histories (not sure if that actually would be the case). If there's not any legitimate concern in that area, blanking is fine. The original Janet Wolfe doesn't appear notable either way.

Delete and redirect to Wolfe Laboratories as there's questionable solid notability for a separate article perhaps. Notifying
DGG who may be interested with this subject.

Delete and make article on the new JW. We can't redirect this to the lab without confusion tho I suppose we could make a hatnote. Nut another reason for ot redirecting to the lab is that I will probably nominate it for deletion as soon as this closes. I know I !voted for keep back in 2008, but I've reconsidered. DGG (
