This person, however respectable, does not fit whatever notability criteria are required for biographical articles, under any definition. The "references" cited in the article are laughable - other than a few primary and self-published texts, they include a passing mention in a full list of all RFE contributors and, get this, a guy's post in a forum ( here).

Keep Biruitorul you are unfair and incorrect. She is mentioned in the Who's Who which was published in Cambridge. Cambridge University considered her notable and worth mentioning. You consider her not notable. Don't you think this is rather presumptious? In any case this reference proves that she was notable as art critic and historian. And this is not a reference published by some unknown tabloid in Romania.
If some other statements do not have sufficient support, the solution is to include a "citation needed" not a deletion. I would have expected a different reaction from your part. I agree that there are extremely few published information on the anticommunist movements in Romania in 1956, but to require a deletion of an article in stead of a citation is equivalent to denying the existence of an anticommunist resistance movement in Romania and an attempt to minimize the students who have risked everything in their attempt for an uprising. I must say that I am extremely surprised by this attitude on the matter. But you are free to have any opinion on the matter even to deny the sacrifices of a forgotten generation of Romanians.
