There is no actual claim to meeting notability guidelines. Being a signer of the role of distinguished stamp collectors is an honor, but it does not seem to meet our notability guidelines, since we do not find indepdent coverage of it. I did several searches. What I found is that some of the links to this article were really meant to go to Alma Theodora Lee, who seems to be the more common usage of "Alma Lee", so even if we keep this article it should not longer be the primary use of Alma Lee. GNG requires independent sources, and the stamp collecting societies own publicatiion honoring those it gives an honor to is not an indepdent source for establishing notability. I see no way to show notability here, and my searches for additional sources turned up nothing. Her one publication is not enough to establish her as a notable writer, so we have nothing here.

• Comment. Here's a bio from the Royal Philatelic Society London. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 16:15, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep per WP:NPROF, as an elected fellow of a scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor, i.e. the Royal Philatelic Society London.[1] pburka (talk) 16:17, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep...I guess being a woman is easy to delete. Her specialist field think she is worthy "received obituaries in the British Philatelic Bulletin". Whispyhistory (talk) 22:46, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Clearly notable, given that the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists honours only a handful of people per year (36 in 2020s decade). PamD 09:07, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep: since the deletion nomination, the article has been improved quite a bit. ww2censor (talk) 10:43, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Clearly notable in her field. The RDP appoint only three or four members annually and membership is regarded as the highest award in philately. Multiple gold medals in competitive philately and a medal is awarded in her honour by the Royal Philatelic Society. Third party obituaries and other biographical profiles that meet the GNG. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:46, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep For the reasons set out by PamD and others. Edwardx (talk) 23:33, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
