An article on Jane Ising, who is turning 109 on February 2, 2011, is up for deletion on Wikipedia.

Johanna “Jane” Ising, (née Ehmer) of Illinois, USA was originally born in Berlin, Germany, but she emigrated to the United States, where she became an economics professor at Bradley University, Illinois, and a community organiser. She was married to the physics professor Ernst Ising who died in 1998.

She is quite famous in her own right. I live on the other side of the world and even I have heard of her.

The bizarre thing is that I can’t find any substantive documentation on her online.

There was an article on her in the “Chicago Tribune” from memory, but that is long gone.

Does anyone know of any documentation on her as I intend to oppose the deletion?

I found this, but the website is of questionable quality.

The article isn't up for deletion ... it's just up for merging with that of her husband's article.

I don't have the time to oppose the merge, but I suggest you fight to keep the article where it is. I foresee a lot of information on that page being lost should it get sucked into Ernst Ising's.

Either way, there doesn't seem to be a merge discussion in the works ... Ernst Ising's talk page, to which the merge discussion links, is a cemetery.
