  • Comment: This reads like a CV.
    What has been written about Wang or her research or other work by academics (or perhaps other people) who are independent of her?
    As a very humdrum example, "Wang was a speaker at the 2021 Climate Action Pursuit by Second Nature." OK, good, but what notice was taken of her speech? Was it remarked upon in newspapers or relevant periodicals?
    As the chair or director of this or that, what is she reported as having achieved (or tried but failed to achieve; or avoided attempting, or whatever)?
    If Measuring Sustainability: Ecological Footprints is a book -- and I really don't know; the link to it (perhaps only temporarily) doesn't work -- then has it been reviewed? If so, perhaps summarize the review(s). Hoary (talk) 02:36, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: The year of birth/age in the infobox (from an age as at date template) must be supported by an inline citation. Also, reference 32 is from Facebook (and the link doesn't work anyway). Social media should not be used as sources. The article is promising, but relies heavily on sources that are not fully independent (ie they are published by the employer of the subject). Finally, it is not clear to me that the current version of the draft article demonstrates how the subject meets the high expectations for notability of academics set out in WP:NPROF...
