The following revisions to your article need to be completed:

Remove the section "Articles written for the Journal of Virology"
The biography section will become your first section at the very top of the page (no title)
Add a section describing the importance of her work. This should go right after the biography section. Start with the number of articles she has published and the approximate number of citations she has using these search results https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=wendy+barclay&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C50&as_sdtp=
Expand the section on her research contributions A LOT. You need to read the summary of her work on her website and other sources you have used, as well as reading the introduction to many of her articles (especially the ones at the top of the list that have over 100 citations). This will help you understand her research and its context, as well as the proper terminology, etc. You should have 2-3 nice paragraphs in this section.
Add a scientist infobox
The memberships, editorial boards, and filmography (cool) sections are fine.

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because... I understand that there are rules specific for Wikipedia article writing, but I have never written a Wikipedia article before, and I am still learning. Instead of saying that it should be deleted right away, I would appreciate it if other Wikipedia editors wrote what they deem to be wrong, and list suggestions as to how I should fix it. To be honest compassionate727, I do not understand what you have deemed wrong with this article so far, and I would greatly appreciate it if someone could explain. I am not finished editing this article, so again, I would really, really, really like it if Wikipedia did not delete it. Please. Owenspg (talk) 01:34, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
