Notability

[edit]

I tagged this article for notability/academics. It appears to have been mainly based on the papers of two GWU students and is written very much like an homage to a favorite teacher. The sources are not good quality (the two newspaper sources are for supporting claims that should arguably be removed from the article). The subject does not appear to meet any of the criteria for WP:PROF--although the "highly cited" criterion is a little difficult for me to investigate. Maybe another editor can defend?

I reinstated the notability tag. Though there are three "independent, reliable secondary sources" (the Washington Post article, the Miami Herald article, and the GWU Faculty Notes), she is not notable enough for a Wikipedia biography. For instance, she clearly fails all eight criteria at Notability (academics), unless something major has happened since she most recently published (in 1978?).

Sourcing

[edit]

Nearly all citations here come from the subject's own website (or perhaps her son's?) and seem to include student essays. Not very reliable. 2600:4040:2F60:3100:347A:FF65:2748:E3D4 (talk) 00:33, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
