When I came across this article, it contained one reference; it now has 10. My goal in nominating this article for deletion is to determine if other people think Hornig's article meets WP:ACADEMIC, and if so, then we will be able to remove the notability tag.

Comment--Hornig appears to be a WP:BLP1E in that her autistic mice study seems to be what she is best known for. However, it has received a lot of media coverage, so maybe she does meet the guidelines for academics. This article also seems to have followed a similar trajectory as Thomas Burbacher--it was created by an anti-vaccine editor as a coatrack for her controversial research that had been misinterpreted by the anti-vaccine movement, then was de-coatracked, leaving very little content behind. Incidentally, I am having a hard time finding any additional reliable sources that talk about Hornig and her research; all I can find are papers she has published and books she has written.

Keep. Clear pass of WP:Prof#C1 from GS. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:27, 11 October 2013 (UTC).[reply]
Keep. Six papers listed in Google scholar with over 100 citations each, including two as first author, on varied topics (including e.g. bee colony collapse as well as the autistic rodent stuff). I think that's enough to pass WP:PROF#C1 and demonstrate that she does not fall into WP:BIO1E. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:40, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
