Fails every aspect of WP:ACADEMIC. No widespread coverage in WP:RS, not too different from a regular university professor. GuardianH (talk) 19:45, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Appears to have an article in the Lancet, but also to have floated among a number of academic institutions at the asst professor level. Does not pass PROF. 128.252.55.251 (talk) 19:42, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Article fails to establish notability under WP:GNG or WP:NACADEMIC, and I couldn't find better sources to establish notability here. Actualcpscm (talk) 20:57, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question: see these Google Scholar results: cited 671 times - is that a lot or a little, for purposes of notability?

It's not that much in the grand scheme of things. More helpful is the H-index; hers is 10. I'm not intimately familiar with the index, but this says that's typical for an associate professor, and that tracks with my experiences. NACADEMIC's threshold for notability is a named chair, that probably corresponds to an h-index above 30. These are rough numbers that depend a lot on the academic field, but I think we can't demonstrate notability just based on citations here. Actualcpscm (talk) 21:43, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
