Fails NBIO. NBIO requires that biography subjects be {{tq| "worthy of notice" or "note"—that is, "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded"}} I am just not seeing evidence that this person is particularly remarkable or passes WP:GNG. The last source (The Coborn Centre for Adolescent Mental Health website) doesn't have any coverage of Coborn. Eastendtalking (archived copy [https://web.archive.org/web/20120415054338/http://www.eastendtalking.org.uk/ourHistory/prisca-coborn]) looks like a self-published website that doesn't count towards notability. The History of County of Middlesex source only briefly mentions Prisca in a couple of sentences in the context of her founding the school and I would only consider it passing coverage. A search on scholar brings up no additional sigcov [https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22Prisca+Coborn%22&btnG=]. Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:26, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

• Keep. A rare case of a pre-20th-century, non-noble woman who achieved lasting memory for her actions. There are book sources, of which the best is a 1900 documentation of Bow Church, which adds her death date from her memorial and the detail that she was the daughter of a minister there. Her name was also memorialised at St Barts. There are at least 3 spellings of her married name (and some confusion with "Priscilla"), but the main problem with the article was it had been expanded by an IP in 2017 with a slab of essayistic and unreferenced prose, and a secondary problem is Google Books can't handle composite volumes with repeated page numbers (or books with a slab of unnumbered plate pages, I suspect). I've fixed the article up with more references, but I don't think we should set the bar very high for biographical details in such cases. Yngvadottir (talk) 00:07, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
• Keep I have found and added more information and sources, and there is a bit more info to add. As the sources show, there was coverage of her in the 1880s, 1900 and 1910s. The [https://www.bow.church/heritage/civil-war Bow Church] website in fact gives her name as Priscilla, and the WP article Priscilla states that that is the English version of the Latin Prisca, so they are variants of the same name (and Latin forms were often used in church records in the 1600s).
