The result was merge to Sir Dhunjibhoy Bomanji. A line or two ought be added but it shall be well-sourced.In light of the sourcing issues, I don't feel comfortable about calling an outright merge and this might be construed as more of a redirect stuff......

Fails WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO. I can't find independent reliable sources about her to show her notability, so we're left a batch of non RS refs (Daily Mail, a user-generated genealogy site, etc), local media, mentions in passing (articles about her former house being sold, etc) and attempts to show her notability based on other people's notability (her husband Sir Dhunjibhoy Bomanji, a statue by a notable sculptor that was bequeathed to the town by Bomanji's daughter, vague claims that "she was well known in aristocrat social circles and friends to few members of the Royal family" sourced to a few pictures and a letter of hers, that her portrait was painted by a notable painter who also painted the Queen, etc). The sources just don't support her notability.
After a week of extensive discussions on the article creator's talk page User_talk:PukkaParsi#Lady_Frainy_Bomanji_May_2018 this does not seem to be going anywhere. The creator says he or she can't find better sources online and seems unwilling or unable to attempt the suggested technique of looking in archives or libraries. He or she stated that the family was very private and there isn't much information available and seems to have given up [1]. Bomanji died more than 30 years ago, and her husband more than 80 years ago, so I can understand that there may not be much online.
I'd be happy to withdraw this if we can find some reliable sources that clearly show her notability, but so far all I see is an upper class woman who was well liked in her community. Simply being "Lady Harrowgate", supporting local causes, founding a local society 47 years ago and being president of it for two years, and being made an Honorary Freeman of the Borough doesn't convince me that she is notable. Relatively well-known and liked in her community, yes, but that's not enough. Meters ( talk) 03:05, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
