Notability

While her university's faculty page provides some bare bones biographical data about Albina A. Goldman, she does not seem to have received much coverage in independent reliable sources. I did not find her publications on Google scholar, but search was not exhaustive. I did find mention of her appearance at a couple of forums. For example: [1] --Bejnar (talk) 19:24, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The addition of a Google books snippet from the Faculty of Yakutsk State University: Biographical Dictionary-Directory 1956-1999 doesn't add any coverage in independent reliable sources. The link for the snippet is [2]. Google, unfortunately, does not indicate from where the book was imaged, and there is no OCLC record. --Bejnar (talk) 04:16, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The question arises whether Goldman may be notable, despite lack of independent coverage, on the basis that she is the director and one of the co-founders of the Mirny Polytechnic Institute, which is the "first university in Western Yukutia". As such she might qualify for Wikipedia:Notability (academics) C6, as a person who has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society. Which boils down to the questions of what is a major academic institution and does Mirny Polytechnic Institute qualify. See, for example, the discussions at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Celia Ross, where Ross was the president of Algoma University, Talk:Selma Botman, where Botman was president of the University of Southern Maine, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Maxwell (minister), where Maxwell was the president of a small Bible college, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Waldo Penner, where he was "principal" of Baptist Theological Seminary in India, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gary L. Rhodes, where Rhodes was president of Riverland Community College. See also Wikipedia talk:Notability (academics)/Archive 8#What qualifies as a "major academic institution"?. I also note that there was "no consensus" last Fall on the "Proposal to remove administrators from C6 criterion". While there seems to be little consensus on what constitutes a "major academic institution", given the Rhodes deletion discussion, I am inclined to say that she meets Criteria 6. --Bejnar (talk) 20:50, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
