Promotional piece?

[edit]

I came upon this entry after noticing that Dr. Rhodes is listed among the “notable alumni” on the UT Southwestern Medical School article, with the only ostensible justification being her having been an attending physician and teaching faculty member there for about 11 years. Hundreds of UTSW alumni have served on the faculty over the years; she may have a distinguished career, but there is nothing in this bio that suggests anything noteworthy of being highlighted as “notable” at the university, other than possibly being a woman of color in STEM (not a unique occurrence by any means at the institution either).

According to this bio she currently holds a leadership position at a VA. If this were considered noteworthy by Wikipedia’s standards, every physician in the country, not to mention the world, would have their CV highlighted on their own Wikipedia pages. This is an encyclopedia, not a Yellow Pages, and unless someone can respond with reasonable justification for why this person’s career is notable enough to be of interest to society at large I will delete this page on suspicion of self-promotion. 2603:8080:5E01:2586:846B:1E34:6C2B:6ADC (talk) 01:41, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
