Text and/or other creative content from Beaversprite was copied or moved into Dorothy Burney Richards. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

As it stands now, this page is almost entirely a copy and paste of Beaversprite, including things that happened after her death. Generally people who are notable for a single thing are included on the page of the thing they're notable for. Since Richards' life was so intertwined with the Beaversprite sanctuary I'm not sure splitting her into a bio page is the right choice here. Apocheir (talk) 00:32, 26 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
Yes, for her conservation work alone, she should have her own page. In addition to co-founding the sanctuary, she devoted her life to studying the beaver population within and beyond the sanctuary and also co-wrote a book about her research. Another way to think of her impact? Without Dorothy Burney Richards, there would have been no Beaversprite. And without Dorothy Burney Richards, there would also be a much smaller body of research about the North American beaver. She is at least as notable and worthy of remembrance as the sanctuary she created and developed. - 47thPennVols (talk) 01:07, 26 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
Well, you sound pretty sure, so I'll be interested to see your future work on this page. Apocheir (talk) 02:57, 26 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
