The citations are formatted nicely. However, the article is over-reliant on sources close to the subject. Out of 38 footnotes, I count 14 footnotes pointing to Locasio's own work, 15 footnotes pointing to sources written by her employers (White House/UMD/NIST), and 9 to WP:IS. The article should be filled out with information from independent sourcing.
The content of the article is a little too much like a curriculum vitae: I count more than a dozen degrees/awards/medals/fellowships, but very little coverage of the content of her scientific work. I'd suggest removing references to awards that are not covered by independent sources, and expanding coverage of the "115 scientific papers and 12 patents" that were briefly mentioned. The coverage needs much more detail overall.
A single headshot is helpful, but more images would really improve the article.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
@TJMSmith: The article has some substantial information, but still needs a significant expansion for more than a brief summary of Locassio's career. The content needs refocusing away from a list of qualifications to more substantial coverage of the details of her scientific and administrative work. Right now, I agree with the current talk page classification: it's about a C-class article. Sorry the review is a bit critical, I hope this assessment is constructive to help improve the article. 〈 Forbes72 | Talk 〉 14:34, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
